How to Use A.I. to Find Your Next Hire

With all the buzz about A.I. lately, business owners are scrambling to find out the different ways they can use GPT to make their days easier and more productive. Many of my clients have started using it to create marketing copy, ads, and graphic design, and even to help with the hiring process. So today I want to share some tips and tricks on how you can use A.I. to make your next hiring easier and more effective.

Be Clear on What the Position Entails

ChatGPT and A.I. are amazing tools for your business, but they aren’t without flaws. Spend a few minutes conversing with the interface and you will quickly learn that while it has a wealth of knowledge, it is only as good as the information or requests that you give it. So if you want to use A.I. to help you put together a good job description, you really have to be clear on what you need before you log in. So you need to write down the following:

  • What is the role you are hiring for?
  • What is this person responsible to do?
  • What are the results you are looking for in this role?
  • What does success look like?
  • Is the role structured in a certain way? For example, are you looking for a person to be there just one day a week for eight hours, or do you want a little bit of this person every single day or spread out?
  • Is this person going to come in as an independent contractor or an employee?
  • Is the position full or part time?
  • Are they going to be onsite or remote or some hybrid of that?

Determine What Type of Person Is Best for the Role

Now that you have the job outlined, you want to go one step further and figure out what type of candidate you are looking for. What are the skills, experiences, and qualities you are looking for in the position? Boil it down to three to five must-haves. Maybe one is maturity. Maybe you need attention to detail or punctuality. Perhaps you need someone who can work with your personality type. Whatever it is, put it down on paper.

Now It’s Time for the Fun Part

Once you have the above items compiled into a list, it’s time to start chatting with the A.I. interface. Plug in the information, and ask it to put together a job description using the information you provided. Within seconds, you should have a good outline to get you started. You can then ask it to tweak the description accordingly to fit your needs. In our tests, the interface included some boilerplate items that are standard with other job descriptions of the same type, which could include a few items that you may not have thought of. So continue to work with the A.I. to modify the items as needed until you get a job description that you are pleased with. Good luck!
