Smarter tech and sharper funnels can help employers stay ahead in early careers and better manage the rise in job applications, explains Nichola Robinson at AMS.
Early careers hiring is at an inflection point. Both employers and students are facing a truly disruptive period, caught between challenges and opportunities arising from new technologies, volatile market conditions and changing business needs.
The need to adapt
Application volumes are exploding. As candidates increasingly use AI and automation to apply for dozens of jobs simultaneously, organisations are struggling to manage the record application volumes, with teams overstretched and struggling to keep up.
The old ways of attracting and assessing candidates are no longer working and it’s becoming harder to differentiate between applicants.
Meanwhile, candidates themselves are disillusioned, finding it impossibly hard to secure work experience, internships or fulltime roles and seeking better connection with employers in the hiring process.
To remain competitive, organisations will need to adapt.
Smarter tech and sharper funnels
A recent ISE webinar with AMS explored these challenges as well as solutions.
We covered how innovative organisations are integrating next-generation ways of working, re-imagined workflows and building tech-powered solutions to manage scale, sharpen funnel performance, enhance quality and deliver an experience today’s candidates love.
