AI Is Reshaping the First Steps of Hiring

As hiring teams look for faster, more consistent ways to engage talent, artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in early-stage recruiting. Recent data from the Staffing Industry Review highlights how AI is already influencing the temporary workforce.

 

AI Prescreening Adoption:  

24% of temporary workers report being interviewed or prescreened by AI during the hiring process signaling a shift toward automation at the very first point of candidate contact.  

  • Text-Based AI Recruiting Bots (11%): The most common form of AI prescreening, using chat-style questions to assess qualifications, availability, and basic fit.  
  • Conversational AI Recruiting Bots (8%): More dynamic systems that simulate real conversations, adapting responses and guiding candidates through next steps.  
  • Virtual Avatar AI Recruiting Bots (5%): A smaller but emerging category, using animated or human-like avatars to conduct interviews and deliver information.

At Ferretti Search, we take the time to know our candidates beyond the resume. Every application is carefully reviewed—if a candidate isn’t the right fit for a current role, we keep their background in mind for future opportunities. 

Here’s what one candidate had to say about our recruiting team: “Ferretti Search took time to not only review my resume but really delve into who I am as a person and what I bring to the table.”  

Our approach ensures that clients are matched with talent who truly align with their team and culture, while candidates experience a thoughtful, personalized process every step of the way.
