Recruiters are up against lengthy and costly hiring processes. There are so many factors to handle, including sourcing, recruiting, assessing, and hiring the ideal candidate for the job.

If you are wondering, as a recruiter, how you might be able to reduce your time-to-hire and the costs that come with hiring a superstar, voice technology will come to your aid. Learn, in this article, the many advantages of voice technology and how it can help you.

What is voice technology?

There are plenty of voice technologies available. Some of the most popular options are Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant, which are all providing innovative ways to recruit candidates.

Voice technology enables users to input commands using their voice. They then act in response to the command and provide the answers sought by the user.

This type of technology was initially launched on desktops. Later, it began to be used on mobile smartphones and portable devices. We have now begun to use voice technology in the comfort of our homes to search for services and products.

But in the recruitment world, there are so many ways that voice technology can make recruitment simpler.

How can voice technology help recruiters?

Here are the 3 crucial ways voice technology is helping recruiters to hire exceptional talent.

Arrange candidate interviews

The key way voice technology helps recruiters is with scheduling candidate meetings and interviews. Some recruiters are now considering it one of the latest recruiting tools for the simple reason that they can book interviews by speaking.

Sift through documents

Voice technology can help recruiters by making it easier for HR personnel to locate documents. This can take a lot of time, which can be avoided.

With voice technology such as Amazon Alexa skill, instead of searching through a vast selection of files to locate one, recruiters can use voice technology to open one file, in particular, straightaway.

Thoroughly explore the candidate pool

There’s another way voice technology can help recruiters. Voice technology works by gathering together all candidates and enabling recruiters to even dip into a deep candidate pool. This helps you target qualified talent.

How do voice tools work?

Voice tools work like this. The user will start by using a signal phrase to ‘get the device’s attention’. For the voice recognition tool Siri, the signal phrase might be ‘Hey Siri’. For Alexa, it could be ‘Alexa’.

Once you’ve used the signal phrase, the voice recognition tool initiates. The device typically will use neural language processing. This helps it analyze voice commands in the written form.

The neural language processing tool will assess the user intent of your search as it records your command or request. It will then distribute the request across the internet. So, if you are trying to source candidates, you could input your voice command, and your device will initiate the search.

Search intent is critical for voice tools. It is responsible for linking together the semantic meaning of each word in a phrase. Instead of yielding results related to housing developers, for instance, search intent ensures voice tools search for software developers in line with your recruitment search.

It’s this that makes voice recognition tools one of the innovative ways to recruit candidates and why they can be considered one of the latest recruiting tools.

Benefits of using voice technology

Reap the following benefits of voice technology when using voice technology.

Save time and avoid laborious tasks

Using voice technology for recruitment will help you save time. No longer will you have to manually type in all requests or commands. Just speak into your voice recognition device and the sourcing stage of your recruitment will initiate.

Explore the whole candidate database

Voice technology also ensures you don’t fail to explore the entire candidate database. Doing this manually might mean the difference between finding a gem of a candidate and missing out on the perfect hire. This is because voice technology brings together all candidates into one database.

Find and engage top talent

Some voice technology will let you find top talent based on candidate personas. It works by gaining insights into your candidates’ abilities, helping you to interpret them, and then enhance engagement with those candidates. This ensures you avoid making the wrong hire and keep hiring costs low.

Issues of using voice tools

The main issue of using voice tools is that the systems of certain devices can potentially be biased against women or discriminatory. For this reason, it’s essential to ensure that algorithms generate objective outputs, as stated by Paul Killen in hrmagazine.co.uk (who is partner and head of Osborne Clarke’s hiring team).

Streamlining

However, voice tools are making recruitment faster and easier for HR professionals. They are streamlining the hiring process and helping recruiters engage better with their candidates.
