🚀 Boolean Search Meets Generative AI 💡 In recruiting, the buzz around AI and the shift to natural language search are reshaping how we source talent. While some predict the end of Boolean search, the reality is more nuanced. 🔍 Boolean search isn’t going away just yet. It’s about critical thinking, inclusivity, and communication. Whether through Boolean or LLM-powered tools, sourcing success depends on how well we can articulate our needs to systems. 🧠 Critical thinking remains the cornerstone of effective recruiting, and as AI evolves, our ability to leverage it will define success. Check out this insightful read on why Boolean and GAI together create a winning strategy for sourcing top talent. https://lnkd.in/d7t53EuS #TalentAcquisition #Recruiting #AI #BooleanSearch #Sourcing #Hiring

Even with the advances in AI and tech automation, I've always said that Boolean strings will never go away. Reason being is exactly what is mentioned in this article: "While understanding the functionality of Boolean operators is certainly important, it is probably only 5% of the process of writing effective Boolean search strings. The other 95% has to do with thinking critically..." With the adoption of GenAI & LLM tools into your organization, it will better assist in thinking critically. #Recruiting #TalentAcquisition #Boolean #AI #GenAI #LLM

We’ve all heard that AI is transforming the world- and if you’re in the job market you certainly know how it’s affecting job applications and enhancing resumes. But what does this mean on the receiving end of those resumes? As a recruiter, I see really great resumes and profiles every day. Sometimes they match what the candidate can talk about, and other times it’s clear the candidate oversold themselves. For those candidates who work hard to make their resumes represent what they do- and get frustrated having to repeat things to a recruiter that are already clearly listed on your resume, please remember that for every one of you out there, we find a lot more who can’t easily discuss what’s on their resume. That’s why we have to ask the questions anyways. For those who have done a lot but have a hard time putting your thoughts together in an interview- take note of the danger of being put into the category of someone who oversold themselves. There is a difference in hearing a candidate who can confidently answer questions compared to the candidate who repeats the question to buy time while they type it in and wait for an AI response that they read back.   Never underestimate the value of being able to clearly explain what you do and how it relates to the role you’re discussing.  This is what will set you apart in a world filled with candidates who have used AI tools to make their resumes sound amazing. Knowledge and experience still trump AI when it comes to talking about what you’ve done and what you’ll bring to the team.
