Here's how artificial intelligence can be used in the job search process
Lee Hecht Harrison has come up with what it describes as a groundbreaking innovation: With "Ella," this staffing service provider is launching an intelligent digital career advisor designed to support terminated workers in career reorientation and job search.
Lee Hecht Harrison, an Adecco Group company specializing in outplacement and career reorientation, is adding an additional team member: Ella (pictured) is the AI (artificial intelligence) driven digital career counselor who effectively assists terminated workers with career reorientation and job search.
A mountain of information
Anyone who loses their job is first faced with a mountain of information: A multitude of Internet platforms with job vacancies, job advertisements, guides of all kinds. Despite the flood of information, less than a third of vacancies are advertised publicly. This is where Ella comes in, a text-based dialog system controlled with artificial intelligence. Ella helps those who have been made redundant to cope with the flood of publicly available information on the basis of their individual starting position and can also access a database with many jobs that are not publicly advertised. The dialogue system is available to all job seekers who are involved in an outplacement program run by Lee Hecht Harrison.
Ella conducts an intelligent dialogue
Ella conducts an intelligent dialog with its users, the company says. Specifically, it asks about education and skills, ideas and desires regarding the new job, and how to geographically narrow the job search. Ella then makes suggestions for eligible open positions based on all publicly available information and Lee Hecht Harrison's database. Neither the job seeker nor his or her advisors have to worry about the time-consuming data analysis. This speeds up the job search and makes it more effective, according to the report. In addition, the dialog with Ella can always be continued due to changes in the situation. In addition, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, Ella is constantly learning and refining its recommendations.
"Ella creates more time for personal elements of job search"
Caroline Pfeiffer Marinho, Country Manager Switzerland at Lee Hecht Harrison, emphasizes: "Process automation using artificial intelligence relieves consultants of the time-consuming targeted data analysis. Thus, thanks to Ella, there is more time for the personal elements of the job search: preparing the resume, training for interviews with potential employers, personal networking."
