Imagine Sarah, a software developer with five years of experience who has just decided to explore new opportunities. Within hours of updating her resume, her inbox is flooded with recruiter messages. Most feel generic; only a few seem relevant to her skills and career goals. Frustrated, she considers abandoning her search altogether.
Sarah’s experience isn’t unique. In fact, 60% of candidates say they would stop applying if a hiring process feels too complicated or impersonal. And with quality candidates like Sarah often leaving the market within 10 days, recruiters face immense pressure to connect with top talent quickly and provide a seamless, personalised experience.
Adding to the challenge, 80% of candidates expect regular updates during the hiring process, yet only 25% receive meaningful feedback, leaving many feeling undervalued.
So, how can recruiters effectively engage candidates like Sarah while managing hundreds of applicants? AI-powered chatbots!
Tools like EVA Bot go beyond traditional processes, combining conversational intelligence, dynamic updates, and personalisation to create standout candidate experiences.
Here’s how EVA Bot is reshaping talent engagement.
1. Re-engage and keep talent data evergreen
Your candidate database is a goldmine, but without regular updates, it becomes static and outdated. Candidates develop new skills, change jobs, and grow over time—failing to keep up with these changes means missing out on hidden opportunities.
How EVA Bot Helps:
- Automates re-engagement campaigns by periodically reaching out to candidates.
- Updates skills dynamically through the Skills Widget on the chat interface, allowing candidates to self-select or confirm their competencies based on your standardized taxonomy.
- Seamlessly integrates these updates into your database, keeping candidate records evergreen and actionable.
- Sends instant updates on application statuses, ensuring candidates feel informed throughout the process.
Example in Action:
EVA Bot sends a friendly nudge: “Hi Sarah, we’d love to know what’s new with your career! Have you learned any new skills or taken on exciting projects recently?”
Candidates can update their profiles in real-time, ensuring your database reflects their most current qualifications. And HRs will benefit from a smarter, dynamic talent pool that saves recruiters hours of manual updates.
2. Personalised Job Recommendations
Candidates expect opportunities that align with their career goals. The faster they see relevant roles, the more likely they are to engage.
How EVA Bot Helps:
- Analyses candidate profiles, preferences, and work history to recommend roles that align perfectly with their skills and aspirations.
- Sends timely alerts for matching opportunities directly to candidates’ dashboards, ensuring they never miss out.
- Offers personalised job recommendations that demonstrate your organization’s investment in their career progression.
Why It Works: Candidates are more likely to respond to HRs that proactively support their aspirations and consistently present well-matched roles. With EVA Bot, engagement becomes effortless and meaningful, helping you connect with top talent before your competitors do.
3. Chatbots can be customised to reflect your brand voice
Candidates want to feel like they’re talking to a person—not a robot. At the same time, ensuring a seamless journey from application to hire is critical for maintaining engagement. EVA Bot combines personalisation with efficiency to create a standout experience.
How EVA Bot Helps:
- Fully customisable to replicate your brand’s tone, whether casual and friendly or formal and professional.
- Acts as a 24/7 virtual assistant, answering FAQs, guiding candidates, and providing instant updates on hiring stages.
