| | JUNE 2022MANAGEHRMAGAZINE.COM6From the 1950s to the mid-1990s, executive recruiters sourced candidates by leveraging their rolodexes; they made a lot of phone calls, starting with people they knew and requesting possible candidates and referrals. However, the dramatic rise of advanced technologies, like artificial intelligence (AI), augmented and virtual realities (AR and VR), blockchain, and cloud computing, is substantially aiding executive search firms today to find the best talent by facilitating new tools and techniques that enhance the employer value proposition (EVP).Among these smart technologies, AI will be for executive search firms what the tractors were to farmers; it will not change the substance of what search firms do, but it will allow them to do the job better and faster. AI-enabled recruiters can compile nuanced long lists of candidates simply by feeding AI with a "perfect profile" and having it sweep through the database, identifying profiles that have similar skills, career trajectories, and job titles. This added efficiency will noticeably shorten the time and resources firms put into the front end of each search, freeing recruiters to focus on value-adding aspects of the job like candidate development, contract negotiation, and onboarding. At the same time, machine learning (ML) and predictive analytics technologies are also about to bring revolutionary changes to the executive search industry. The technologies' ability to sift through vast volumes of data with previously unimaginable speed and precision can help recruiters contextualise company and candidate profiles across a wide variety of critical metrics.
