Building A Winning Team With AI (Without The Headaches!)

Within the next 5 years, Artificial Intelligence won't just be optional in recruitment. It will be an essential component of any future recruitment strategy. But to be able to drive real results, it should align with the Philippines' unique talent landscape.

It's also important to note that the average company in the Philippines loses roughly about ₱3.2M annually due to their slow pace of hiring. Simultaneously, about 7/10 candidates fear that AI will reject them unfairly. 

Given this, leading companies have started to incorporate AI strategically, in order to find solutions to critical hiring pain points, and in effect, gain a decisive edge.

One example is by being able to utilize an AI screening tool and blind screen volumes of applications in 30 minutes. By concealing school + age and just focusing purely on skill, a Cebu-based BPO company was able to get a result of 33% fewer misfire hires.

Another would be rolling out chatbots that are smart in the local language (or even dialects). "Paano mo haharapin ang isang galit na customer?" was much more effective vs. presenting generic English questions to a candidate (although let's face it, most AI tools are trained solely on Western data, that they tend to miss out on local cultural nuances + candidates’ local communication styles).

Faster hiring while being 100% fair requires both AI's efficiency + local human insight. Blending both should result in cutting hiring time by 40% while boosting candidate trust by more than 50%.
