How AI redefines recruiting excellence 2025 Future of Recruiting

AI is transforming how recruitment firms operate, moving past process-driven efficiency to business-focused impact. LinkedIn has analyzed billions of data points, insights from 1000+ recruitment pros and expert advice to better understand how AI can help your teams bring long-sought but often-elusive goals within your grasp.

This year's key topics shaping the recruitment industry.

AI deployment is reshaping recruitment from the ground up.

By automating time-consuming tasks, generative AI (GAI) speeds up the recruiting process, allowing recruiters to spend more time on strategic activities like building relationships, improving candidate experience, and advising their clients. Organizations are getting the message.

"From our SThree research we know that STEM professionals are losing almost 6 hours a week due to a lack of AI tools, hindering productivity. By embracing AI in recruitment, companies can save valuable time, improve client and candidate matching while creating a workplace culture that attracts forward-thinking talent "

Steven Biester, Global Managing
Director of Marketing SThree

AI powers increased focus on quality of hire.

Finding the best person for the job has always been a central goal of recruiting, buts it’s becoming even more important now. Volatile business conditions are amping up demand for quality candidates who can adapt to rapid change.

"Forward thinking talent leaders are evaluating quality of hire on a short-, medium- and long-term basis, which allows them to layer performance, mobility and resilience to the already tried and tested mechanisms. The advances in reporting capability mean that quality of hire is no longer a ‘rear-view mirror’ metric. It becomes your canary in a cage, alerting you to subtle shifts that might be needed in your hiring approach to adapt your future hires to the needs of your organization.”

Ruth Munday - Global Head of Client
Development – Hays Enterprise Solutions

Skills-based hiring is not new, but it is rising in importance.

Skills- based hiring – the practice of hiring based on candidates’ skills, rather than their degrees or their job history- is becoming an increasingly important priority in a rapidly shifting economy. As employers strive to keep up with advances in technology, they’re seeking employees who have certain skills – including AI skills – To fill skills gaps.

"The role of recruitment professionals is to ensure that every candidate is evaluated based on their actual skills, far beyond their academic or professional background. We are witnessing a fast-paced evolution in terms of skills, aligned with digital, ecological, and strategic transformations faced by businesses. At PageGroup, we have long reimagined our methods, integrating innovative and human-centered assessment tools to unlock the unique value each talent can bring to an organization.”

Laurent Blanchard|Regional Managing
Director at PageGroup
