The new era of AI recruitment.

🦾Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries worldwide, with innovations pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. From healthcare to finance, AI is driving efficiency, enhancing decision-making, and enabling companies to remain competitive in an increasingly complex world.

💡One of the most notable trends for us, as a talent agency, is the integration of AI into recruitment. Businesses are leveraging AI to streamline hiring processes, reduce bias, and match candidates with roles based on more than just resumes. AI-powered tools can analyze candidates’ hard and soft skills, predict job success, and provide deeper insights, making recruitment faster, more precise, and less prone to human error.

🌟At Global Find New Job, we are also embracing this AI-driven transformation. Our team is actively working on an AI-powered product designed to revolutionize the hiring process. Set to be launched in the upcoming months, our product will offer innovative solutions to better assess candidates, helping businesses find the perfect fit for their teams with greater speed and accuracy.

As AI continues to evolve, its impact on recruitment is just beginning. We’re excited to be a part of this transformation and look forward to offering cutting-edge tools that will shape the future of hiring.

Benefits of Working at a Product Company.

Sometimes I hear from developers that there’s no difference between working at a product company or elsewhere. I have to disagree, and here’s why.

– Ownership of your work:
You’re building and improving one product, which means you can see your work in action and make a real impact.
– Stability and focus:
Product companies offer a stable environment. You work on long-term projects without jumping between clients, which helps you focus and grow.
– Deep learning and specialization:
You get to work with the same tech stack and product, allowing you to become an expert and tackle deeper challenges.
– Team collaboration
You’ll work closely with a dedicated team, building strong relationships and learning from others as you create something together.
– Room to innovate
You have the chance to bring your ideas to life and directly influence the product’s future.

Your LinkedIn Profile Photo 📷

Without a lengthy introduction or explanation about the importance of your personal professional brand, we`re sharing tips from various sources and our own experience.

Let’s go:

❌

  • A photo where you’re not alone (e.g., with a friend/partner, etc.).
  • A photo from a party/club.
  • A full-body photo (it’s important that your face and eyes are visible).
  • A “ready for anything” photo (no matter how beautiful your figure is, it’s better to cover it up for a professional network 😉).
  • A low-quality photo (blurry, dark, stretched, etc.).
  • A photo where you look very different from real life (I removed my 5-year-old photo and replaced it with a more recent one, considering my love for changing hairstyles 🙃).

It’s best to choose a headshot (looking straight or slightly turned) against a simple background that’s not overly detailed.

If you manage professional pages on Facebook, Instagram, or Telegram, it’s better to use the same photo across all profiles to increase the recognition of your personal brand.

More on profile setup in the next posts.

Hiring today is not the same as it was in 2021, and this means…

– A well-crafted resume highlighting your achievements that stands out to hiring managers. Your job title and a couple of lines about your duties might have been sufficient in 2021, but not anymore; the competition is too high now, unfortunately.

– The requirements for candidates are higher than described in the job posting. You will be competing with people of various seniority levels, often 1-2 levels higher than you for the same pay, so meeting all the criteria doesn’t guarantee success. Just keep this in mind and don’t take rejection personally.

– When going for an interview, know not only the name of the company but also as much as you can find about it and show your interest. As mentioned above, сompetition leads to a more careful selection of candidates.

– Your networking: recommendations, reposts, contacts. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is fully updated.

– Having excellent hard skills is not enough. No one will tolerate a toxic person, even if they are very skilled. Professional ethics matter – respect the people around you.

10 Common Job Interview Questions and the meaning behind them.

Why do interviewers ask these specific questions and what do they want to find out?
Below is a list of 10 common job interview questions.

1. Could you tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?

Interviewers like to hear stories about candidates. Make sure your story has a great beginning, a riveting middle, and an end that makes the interviewer root for you to win the job.

2. How did you hear about this position?

Employers want to know whether you are actively seeking out their company, heard of the role from a recruiter, or were recommended to the position by a current employee. In short, they want to know how you got to them.

3. What type of work environment do you prefer?

Your preferred environment should closely align to the company’s workplace culture (and if it doesn’t, it may not be the right fit for you).

4. How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations?

The employer wants to know: Do you hold down the fort or crumble under pressure? They want to make sure that you won’t have a meltdown when the pressure becomes intense and deadlines are looming. The ability to stay calm under pressure is a highly prized talent.

5. Do you prefer working independently or on a team?

Your answer should be informed by the research you’ve done on the company culture and the job in question. Nevertheless, you should expect that most work environments will have some team aspect.

6. When you’re balancing multiple projects, how do you keep yourself organized?

Employers want to understand how you use your time and energy to stay productive and efficient. They’re also looking to understand if you have your own system for staying on track with the work beyond the company’s schedules.

7. What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?

This question may come up as a result of the pandemic. Employers want to know how people used their time differently. Know that you don’t have to feel scared about answering this question if you didn’t spend your time brushing up on skills or taking courses. We learn from any experience we have.

8. What are your salary expectations?

Before you walk in for your first interview, you should already know what the salary is for the position you’re applying to. Check out websites such as Glassdoor, Fishbowl, or Vault.com for salary information. You could also ask people in the field by reaching out to your community on LinkedIn.

9. Are you applying for other jobs?

Interviewers want to know if you’re genuinely interested in this position or if it’s just one of your many options. Simply, they want to know if you’re their top choice. Honesty is the best policy.

10. From your resume it seems you took a gap year. Would you like to tell us why that was?

Gap years are more popular in some cultures than others. In some professions, gap years may have a negative connotation (the industry moves too fast and you’re not up to date).

An intermediate update from the recruiter.

Are updates like “no update so far” appreciated?

Yes, absolutely 💯

Imagine you’ve interviewed a great candidate, presented them to a hiring manager, and now you’re waiting for a response. As time goes by with no communication, the candidate is left in the dark, feeling a mix of hope and anxiety.

From the company’s side, unexpected events like urgent business releases or interviewer illnesses might cause delays. While these reasons are understandable, transparent communication is crucial to manage candidate expectations.

Even in situations where there’s “no update so far, unfortunately,” a transparent acknowledgment of ongoing processes, with a sincere apology for any delays, is highly appreciated.

This helps maintain a positive candidate experience.
Candidates appreciate transparency 🙏

Without updates, they may doubt their qualifications or whether they made a good impression. A simple update, even if there’s no significant news, shows respect for the candidate’s time and effort.
