Navigating the AI Hiring Market
In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly woven into every stage of the hiring journey, organisations must adapt faster, smarter and with purpose. The white paper “Navigating the AI Hiring Market” from LevelUP offers leaders in recruitment, talent acquisition and workforce strategy a comprehensive roadmap for thriving in this shifting landscape.
Why this matters now
With 87% of companies reported to now use some form of AI-driven recruitment tools. The adoption of AI isn’t just about automating tasks—it’s about changing how talent is identified, engaged and retained. From screening resumes and scheduling interviews, to assessing fit and onboarding even the most dynamic contingent workforce, AI offers both opportunity and risk.
For organisations leveraging contingent labour, contractors and RPO partnerships, this matters deeply. The tempo of business is increasing; scaling up quickly, accessing niche skills and reducing cost-per-hire are top of mind. Yet, the promise of AI also introduces questions around fairness, bias, experience and human-machine balance.
What’s inside the paper
You’ll gain insights into:
- Labour market dynamics: How AI is reshaping skill demand, sourcing strategy and access to global talent pools — particularly for contingent workforce models.
- Technology impact on RPO & staffing: How recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) providers are evolving their service models under AI-enabled sourcing, matching and analytics frameworks.
- Candidate experience & brand reputation: Why adopting AI without attention to transparency, trust and candidate feedback can damage your employer brand — especially in competitive markets.
- Ethics, fairness & compliance: With market growth in AI hiring tools projected to double from ~$640 million in 2023 to over $1.2 billion by 2033, organizations must ensure their AI strategies align with fairness, diversity, bias mitigation and regulatory trends.
- Actionable playbook for workforce agility: Strategic steps to integrate AI into your contingent staffing strategy, RPO-led programs and full-lifecycle hiring model—so you can scale, adapt and stay ahead.
The strategic difference
As companies shift to flexible talent models — where permanent, contingent, project-based and freelance workers sit side-by-side — the interface between your RPO strategy and your technology stack becomes critical. This white paper helps you:
- Examine how AI-enabled sourcing platforms can feed your contingent labour pipelines faster.
- Understand how RPO partners can leverage AI-driven insights to refine talent pools, reduce time-to-fill and improve quality of hire.
- Assess how contingent staffing strategies must evolve in an AI-first era — including how to integrate analytics, risk management and lifecycle management.
- Align your human-plus-machine model: recognizing that AI doesn’t replace recruiters, but amplifies their impact and shifts their role toward strategic talent consulting.
