The way companies hire and manage employees is evolving rapidly with the power of AI, particularly through Agentic AI solutions. These intelligent systems operate autonomously or semi-autonomously within specific workflows, effectively mimicking human decision-making and actions to enhance efficiency.
At the recent IAMPHENOM conference, leaders from across industries shared how they’re using Agentic AI to make the hiring process faster, smarter, and more efficient. Among the attendees was Pramod Patil, CTO of Orion Talent, who shared his key insights and takeaways, which are highlighted throughout this blog post. Pramod says, “While human centric AI is the key to success, AI is here to stay, transform and revolutionize; the choice is to embrace and fly or resist and fall by the wayside.”
What Is AI Doing in Hiring?
Think about all the steps involved in hiring: finding candidates, scheduling interviews, screening resumes, onboarding new employees, and so much more. Now imagine if computers could do a lot of that work for you, not just faster but also better. That’s what AI is doing in hiring today.
Some of the standout innovations discussed at the event included:
- AI-Powered Candidate Searches: Finding the right people for the job in less time.
- Voice Interviews: A new tool that allows candidates to interview using voice-based technology.
- Smart Scheduling: Cutting down the time between applying for a job and getting an interview—sometimes to just minutes!
- AI-Driven Onboarding: Making the first days at a new job smoother and more engaging for employees.
Real-Life Success Stories
Companies are already seeing huge benefits from these technologies. Here are some real examples shared during the event:
- Thermo Fisher Scientific and Agco used automation to:
- Triple the number of qualified candidates they found.
- Cut the time it takes to hire someone by 54%
- Save almost two years' worth of recruiter time in a single hiring cycle!
- Other organizations are using AI tools, like chatbots, to answer employee questions and help with tasks behind the scenes. These bots can even recommend training programs or new job opportunities within the company.
Why Does This Matter?
For companies, these advancements mean they can hire better people faster. For candidates, it means a better experience—less waiting, more personalized attention, and tools to grow in their careers. For instance, the impact of automated interview scheduling cannot be ignored, with benefits for the recruiter and job seeker.
- 81% of interviews scheduled without recruiter involvement
- 76% of scheduling occurs outside of standard hours
- Recruiters saved 5 hours a week per active job
- 36% faster progression through interview stages when using scheduling
However, not every company can afford these high-tech solutions. While large businesses are leading the way, smaller companies might struggle to catch up. The hope is that as these tools become more common, they’ll also become more affordable.
The Bigger Picture
AI isn’t just changing hiring; it’s transforming the workplace. From helping employees learn new skills to finding ways to make jobs more fulfilling, the possibilities are endless. While some automation in the Talent Acquisition lifestyle has already happened, adoption of Agentic AI will be a game changer. Key benefits include:
- AI-enabled campaigns and candidate sourcing
- Resume mapping and candidate shortlisting
- Initial screening and interview scheduling
- AI-based onboarding to improve the employee experience
- Training and development
As keynote speaker Mahe Bayireddi put it, “AI is reshaping the entire talent lifecycle.”
This is just the beginning. As more companies adopt these tools, we’re likely to see even more creative ways AI can make work better for everyone - both employers and employees alike.
