Artificial intelligence (AI) made its splash on the staffing scene many years ago, with the introduction of ATS or applicant tracking systems. Today, AI is becoming smarter and more robust, making it easier to source and screen the best candidates. Talk to the interviewer about the ways you have seen AI change talent sourcing strategy.

"The most dramatic change I have seen in the talent sourcing and staffing industry has been the marriage of AI and affordable SaaS. Many time-consuming tasks such as job postings, sourcing, and screening have been automated by solutions such as Zip Recruiter. As a recruiter, this allows me to find and screen candidates for clients who don't have the time to perform these necessary steps in staffing. The downside of AI in talent sourcing is the ease of use, and its affordability means companies that once relied on a staffing agency are utilizing this technology for themselves. To overcome this, staffing agencies must offer the best and fastest service, proving more than ever before that their fees are worth paying."
