Using AI recommendations to improve searches

- [Harley] Now that you know the basics of how search works, let's take a look at how you can use AI and Recruiter to help you uncover even more qualified talent and improve the efficiency of your recruiting process. Wouldn't it be nice if you could ask a trusted source to tell you things like, "Hey, what are the top locations for business development professionals in the United States?" Well, now you can. We're going to put that right into this search bar and find out. And check out these results. It says no results, but that's not exactly true because when I scroll over on the left-hand side, I can see the top locations for this talent pool. They're right here, and I want to focus on New York first. Wow, New York was listed first because it had the most. There's 15 million results, that's amazing. I need to narrow this down before I go much further, so what I'm going to do is ask maybe who's likely to change jobs, and I could view the new messages and choose one of these suggestions, but I am going to type right here. From 15 million, we are down to 2.6 million, that's amazing. I will continue to narrow my results, but you know what? I'm going to do that later. Right now what I want to do is go back to my homepage and to the search bar to show you another trick I love. Let's do that. Now, here's the thing. Sometimes you're going to get a requisition and you have no idea where to start because you've never even heard of the role. For example, someone asked me to find a solutions architect, and I thought, "Uh-oh, I don't even know what that is about. I don't think it's about building buildings, what can I do?" What I'm going to do is put that title right in here and see what I can learn. I've got a lot of results. I'll look into those later, but right now, what I'd like to know is this, what are the suggested titles for this basic title? What other titles are similar? I can see the top titles being given to me. I want to check that out first. Okay, this makes more sense. That's right, of course, software engineer. Wonderful. Another thing I might want to learn about is the skills. What are the top skills? I don't see that as a suggestion here anymore, but I could type it into the search bar, and now I know the top skills for the talent pool. Sweet. Check that out, I've just learned a lot more about this role so it's going to make sourcing so much easier. Pretty cool, huh? All right, the final tip is this. Let's go back to the homepage and I want to show you something that's really nice. If I want to, I can search using a job description. This is super helpful if I want to start sourcing candidates before I even get my applicants. I've already got the job description, so why type everything out again? Let me just go grab that and I'm going to paste it into the search bar. I need to find a senior product designer, and so I am going to paste this job description in. It's a lot of words, but I'm going to press Enter, and within moments I get my results. Recruiter took all that information, compiled it, gave me results, and even is showing me on the left-hand side some suggestions and the filters that I've got that I'm using here. Now I've got 5,300 results, I do want to narrow this down. Something that I absolutely need is Figma, so I will edit the search filters I've got over here for skills, and I'm going to find Figma and say, "Hey, that's a must have skill." As soon as I do that, 5,300, I now have 4,200. I've started to narrow my results and I'll continue to do that even further. So you can see with the strength of AI, you now have the ability to search more creatively in real time, to uncover more qualified talent and to improve the efficiency of your recruiting process. Give some of these ideas a try.
