AI’s growing prevalence in the workplace has prompted many recruiters to keep an eye out for AI skills on resumes. Here’s some advice on how to upskill yourself in AI so you can get hired.

Efficient candidate sourcing starts with great AI recruiting tools paired with a human touch. Find out how this new Greenhouse feature can help.

One of the most effective ways to find talent is by sending outreach emails to passive candidates to connect and expand your talent pool. However, finding and cultivating relationships with candidates can be time-consuming, especially if the entire process is handled manually without a candidate sourcing tool. That's where Greenhouse Sourcing Automation is a game-changer. Learn how our sourcing tool can help streamline your candidate sourcing strategy and free up valuable time so you can focus on what you do best: hiring exceptional talent.

It’s important for companies to prioritize diversity sourcing to promote a more inclusive workplace where differences are celebrated and all employees feel valued. To achieve this, companies must ensure they're holding themselves accountable throughout the recruitment process to hire fairly and equitably. A diverse workforce that operates within a culture of belonging not only benefits the company’s current and future employees, but also helps to build stronger relationships with customers and clients, and ultimately leads to a more successful business.
