Canadian SMBs are adopting AI for recruitment efficiency

Canadian small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are facing challenges in hiring talent. The job market is changing quickly, which makes it important for these businesses to find new ways to attract and keep skilled workers. Many SMBs do not have large human resources departments like bigger companies. This means they must work hard to find the right employees who can improve productivity and company culture. To compete, they are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI) tools to streamline their recruitment processes. Despite the rise of AI, personal interaction during hiring is still very important. SMBs need to balance technology with the human element of recruitment. By doing so, they can improve their chances of finding top candidates in a tough job market. A recent survey by Capterra looked at how job seekers feel about AI in recruitment. It included nearly 3,000 respondents from various countries, including Canada. The study aimed to understand job seekers' experiences with AI-driven hiring tools.
