Recruiting experiences can be personalized in different ways from the initial stage itself. 1. Craft a personalized/customized JD by cleaning all the generic JD paragraphs and handpicking the core points about the role. 2. Enquire about the well-being & whereabouts of the candidates when taking preliminary interviews. 3. Allow them to talk to you rather than you keep asking one sided 'Y/N' Qs. Upskill yourself to ask engaging Qs. 4. If you can't mention the budget, atleast be transparent to mention a CTC range to decide from. 5. Prior to the DOJ, invite the candidates for a Chai/Coffee ☕ or lunch; make the team meet them; be in touch via WhatsApp during their exit process. 6. Tag & share a post about their joining to thank them.

Well, building a recruiting chatbot is definitely going to be one bend of a task! But sounds interesting too. Apart from the pointers mentioned, here are my view points; 1. Integrating the chatbot with the company's ATS. 2. Machine Learning techniques with the right NLP combo to come up with more than 90% accuracy for matching algorithms (JD & Resume). 3. A Conversation Design or an Analysis Tool to analyze the responses to predict a speech pattern & align the choice of words as per the questions taken/given. 4. Some companies have their own interview scheduling tool where the candidates & recruiters can choose a slot from the available ones. This particular feature embedded into a recruiting chatbot would be a good add-on.

As we all know Recruiters handle tight deadlines, targets & prompt decisions in high-pressure settings. Here's what I'd like to add on; 1. Start the day with a positive mindset. Set Realistic Goals & achievable tasks for the day, week, month accordingly. 2. Prioritize tasks based on urgency & importance. 3. Effective Time Management. 4. Acknowledge & motivate yourself even with small wins. 5. Grab some Chai, Coffee, Snacks, or spend 5 mins browsing recruiting content or latest news for a change. 6. Develop & embrace a "curiosity & learning mindset" because continuous & consistent learning is key. 7. Seek Feedback from your candidates, your seniors, juniors on a weekly or monthly basis to try & analyze the Recruiter in you.
