AI in recruitment and hiring: A game changer for the future

Author: Nétive VMS

Recruitment and hiring are under pressure. The labour market is changing faster than ever, talent is becoming scarcer and processes are becoming more complex. During the Total Workforce Summit in Brussels, our colleague Chris Neddermeijer inspired the audience with a powerful session on how artificial intelligence (AI) tackles these challenges.

Why AI is relevant now

Whether you are a recruiter who works with candidates every day, or a manager responsible for hiring and supplier management, AI offers opportunities to optimise processes and be strategically stronger.

With AI you can:
  • Increase efficiency: By automating repetitive tasks such as CV screening, supplier management and compliance checks.
  • Promote diversity: AI assesses objectively and reduces bias, contributing to more inclusive recruitment and hiring programs.
  • Gain strategic insights: Analysing big data gives you a better grip on workforce planning, supplier performance and cost optimisation.

For hiring managers, this means compliance and risk are easier to manage, while recruiters get more time for human connection.

Practical examples from the session

Chris showed how AI tools like LinkedIn’s Hiring Assistant automate repetitive processes, while technologies like AI chatbots make internal mobility more efficient. Unilever used AI to screen 250,000 candidates in four months, which not only saved time but also significantly reduced costs.

AI only works in the right culture

“AI is not a magic solution,” Chris emphasised. “It only works in a culture of continuous improvement.” At Nétive VMS we believe in a feed-forward approach: looking ahead and proactively improving processes instead of correcting them afterwards. Our VMS solution seamlessly integrates AI, so you achieve both compliance and strategic goals without added complexity.
