In this week's AIX Factor Podcast, Mark Vickers, HR.com’s Chief Research Analyst & Data Wrangler, joins us to talk about their new report, "The Future of AI and Recruitment Technologies 2024-25" (https://lnkd.in/ebX7BhAt). Mark was last on the pod in August to discuss “AI’s Bumpy Ascent in HR” - we asked him if the ascent has gotten any less bumpy since (spoiler alert: a little), then homed in on the findings of their latest blockbuster report: 

• the increasing use of AI in recruitment functions (automating job descriptions, candidate communication, resume filtering, interview scheduling, and candidate discovery)
• the positive correlation between the use of effective recruitment technologies and higher quality of hires
• how technology is being used to improve candidate experiences, efficiency, and access to the entire pipeline of candidates
• concerns about AI usage (depersonalization and vulnerability to bias)

 We also discussed the underutilization of mobile tech in recruiting and why this is such an unforced error. Mark closes by providing us with a sneak preview of exciting research projects he and his team have in the works for the coming year, and background on HR.com's new AI for HR Academy (https://lnkd.in/ewK43AFz).
