What’s AI in job searching
Artificial Intelligence, once a futuristic concept, has now made its way into nearly every industry, including recruitment. AI algorithms , not unlike the one nPloy uses, can analyse vast amounts of data to match job seekers with positions that perfectly align with their skills, experience, and preferences. According to PwC’s 2024 AI Jobs Barometer, sectors that are exposed to AI are experiencing nearly 5 times higher growth in labour productivity. And HR definitely falls into this category.
How does AI in job searching work
and what does nPloy’s AI algorithm do
Let’s take a look at how nPloy, a free to use job matching app, harnesses the power of AI when it comes to job matching. All it takes for the magic to work is for you to complete your profile. From then on, you will only see job ads, presented as cards you can swipe on to apply for a job or not, that match your criteria - salary expectations, skills and qualifications.
nPloy’s algorithm uses signals in order to work better. There are three types of signals:
- Textual signals
All the information from the profile. Your full resume, your skills, the languages you speak, the experience you have - they all fall in that category. - Contextual signals
These are all the filters you set on your profile - salary expectations, working hours, work model (on-site, hybrid, remote), seniority and keywords. - Behavioural signals
This is basically what you do in the app 👀 Your job applications, rejections and so on. The more you use the app, the better the results. See for yourself!
Why do we need AI in job searching
As every professional field, HR and recruitment has its challenges. Let’s take a look at the most common problems people face when looking for a job, and how nPloy solves them.
❌ Too many irrelevant job ads
One of the biggest challenges for job seekers is the sheer volume of job listings. It's easy to get lost or overwhelmed. Imagine scrolling through hundreds of job posts and wasting time only to find a few that slightly match your criteria? We said no to that.
✅ Jobs that perfectly match your criteria
Once you complete your profile and let AI what you’re looking for, you’ll only see jobs that are a perfect fit. All you have to do is swipe right to apply.
❌ Tailoring each application
Customising your CV for each application can be an exhausting task. Plus, keeping track of where you've applied and what stage you're at can become a logistical nightmare.
✅ Easy application and a status
As mentioned, on nPloy you apply with a single swipe. Plus, you always know if a recruiter has reviewed your application and reviewed your resume - you can easily check the status on the app. Plus, you get to see all of the job ads you applied for or rejected, and go back if you decide to change your mind.
❌ Lack of feedback
Most of the recruiters are also overwhelmed by the great amount of applications. It’s easy for them to forget to get back to you or let you know what’s the status of the application.
✅ Guaranteed feedback
A company has unmatched your profile? Sorry to hear that, but don’t be sad! There are so many opportunities out there! On top of that, with nPloy you always see the reason why it won’t work out between you and the employer. Maybe your profile is incomplete, or you are overqualified for the job - knowing the reason gives you room for improvement.
