Welcome to Digital Renaissance!
Similar to Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press which quickened the spread of knowledge and discoveries, ChatGPT has changed the way information is disseminated.
Let’s ChatGPT introduce itself:
ChatGPT, also known as Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is a language model developed by OpenAI that uses deep learning algorithms to process natural language text. It takes a text prompt as input and generates a text output based on the instructions given, making it a useful tool for various tasks such as text generation, translation, and sentiment analysis
What does it mean for recruitment? In short, there is a “before” and an “after”: the way we interact with information will never be the same.
I find it fascinating how it can elevate every step in the recruitment and can be adapted by any user with any level of computer literacy. Its core use stems from being able to:
- “Research” (provide answers based on your prompts),
- Analyze the content based on a certain criterion
- Summarize and categorize the information you “output”
- Create the content on demand
How can it be useful in recruitment? Let’s look into use cases:
Job analysis
If you have a requisition you’ve never heard of before, ChatGPT can instruct you on the role in under 15 minutes:
- Create a job description
- Summarize the key requirements of the role
- List key hard/soft skills
- Explain every listed skill in relation to the actual job
- Categorize the skills
Outreach
Write an outreach message based on the job description
Research
- List competitors
- Draw career paths
- List other relevant job titles and a lot more!
- ChatGPT can even help construct your strings. It isn’t familiar with Boolean, still, you can prompt to take your search words (companies, titles, etc) and add AND (OR) between every word/statement:
Data Cleaning
Irina Shamaeva showed how ChatGPT can clean your data, for example, capitalize names, and return back the results in a table format (Click here for the original source).
My recent discovery is that it can even extract the names embedded in the LinkedIn profile URL, for instance:
Definitely, it’s a game-changer for scraping and cleaning your search results.
Diversity and Inclusion
- Create lists for your target diversity groups (organizations, LinkedIn groups, etc)
- Analyze the sentiment of your outreach/job description:
Interview
- Create interview questions
- Write scenario answers
- Create a grading system:
Last but not least:
ChatGPT is a good listener always willing to help!
