The iCIMS UK 2024 Talent Experience Report uncovers how AI is rewriting the candidate and recruiter experience
LONDON, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at UNLEASH World, iCIMS released its second annual UK Talent Experience Report, uncovering that 99% of recruiters in the United Kingdom (UK) are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). Top use cases include finding candidates, matching skills, summarising resumes and drafting candidate communications.
Informed by proprietary data from the iCIMS platform and a survey of 500 UK-based talent acquisition professionals, the new report uncovers the sentiment, roadblocks, fears, and outlook of TA pros and recruiters within the UK and how those views stack up globally. The report also compares trends and expectations across the UK, France and the US.
Hiring top talent is a competitive sport, and iCIMS survey data proves that leveraging AI is helping recruiters stay ahead of the curve. Recruiters revealed AI is saving them an average of two and a half hours a week. However, 41% fear AI will make their role obsolete, and when it comes to candidates leveraging AI, 98% say they are concerned about candidates' use of AI during the application and interview processes. Earlier this year, iCIMS unveiled research based on a survey of CHROs, who also confirmed that AI was becoming a crucial part of the HR toolkit, with ethics and fairness at the core.
"Hiring the right talent is more of a commitment than ever before and creating positive and personalised talent experiences is easier said than done – but, the right AI can help TA pros operate more efficiently and complement their skills," said Amandine Reitz, EMEA HR Manager at iCIMS. "Candidates and recruiters alike will continue to experiment with emerging tech and develop best practises and appropriate use cases through trial and error."
Additional findings from the iCIMS 2024 UK Talent Experience Report:
"This data paints a clear picture of how workforce dynamics are evolving in the United Kingdom, further empowering HR leaders to refine their TA strategies and rethink how they leverage technology to meet today's expectations," Reitz added.
