The New Reality of Hiring
The human resources landscape is undergoing dramatic change. Recruiting teams are inundated with résumés; candidates expect consumer‑grade interactions, and business leaders need to fill roles faster than ever. At the same time, organizations must guard against bias and comply with evolving regulations. It’s no surprise that executives are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to help address these challenges.
Grand View Research reports that the global AI in HR market was USD 3.25 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 15.24 billion by 2030. The wider AI market is projected to grow from USD 279.22 billion in 2024 to USD 1,811.75 billion by 2030. This surge reflects how generative and adaptive AI are becoming essential to modern hiring.
Recruitment is a prime candidate for transformation. AI can help hiring teams screen résumés, identify gaps in candidates’ skills and experiences, and match applicants with specific job requirements, reducing selection time and allowing HR professionals to focus on the most qualified individuals. These insights set the stage for Oracle’s innovations.
Why AI Is Essential for Modern Hiring
AI adoption in recruiting isn’t simply about following a trend; it is a strategic response to systemic challenges:
1. Volume and speed - Many organisations manage hundreds of applicants per requisition. AI can instantly parse résumés, rank candidates by fit and even draft communications. According to Grand View Research, automation of recruitment processes for candidate sourcing, résumé screening and interview scheduling is a key driver of the AI in the HR market.
2. Quality and diversity - Advanced algorithms surface candidates based on skills and potential rather than strictly on keywords or job titles. This helps companies focus on transferable competencies and reduce unconscious bias.
3. Candidate expectations - Job seekers demand personalised experiences and timely feedback. AI‑driven chatbots and recommendation engines power self‑service tools that keep candidates engaged.
4. Data‑driven decisions - Adaptive AI continually learns from outcomes to improve sourcing, screening, and hiring. The HR Executive report underscores that executives are evaluating recruiting technology infused with AI to deliver more value.
Together, these drivers show why AI is no longer optional but critical for recruitment success. This is where Oracle steps in with powerful AI-driven capabilities tailored for modern hiring needs.
Oracle Recruiting Cloud brings these AI benefits to life through two key capabilities: Generative AI and Adaptive AI. Let’s explore how each one transforms the recruitment process.
Generative AI or Generative Artificial Intelligence involves utilizing AI to produce content such as text, images, music, audio, and videos. In Oracle HCM Cloud, the current version of generative AI is primarily focused on generating text, while Adaptive AI features show insights, give recommendations that help in quick & efficient decision-making.
In this blog, I will take you through some of these new Generative & Adaptive AI features from Oracle Recruiting and their beneficial impacts on your recruitment process. Let’s look at what Oracle AI has to offer within Oracle Recruiting.
Craft Highly Effective Job Requisitions Easily
Job Posting Description Using Generative AI
Users can use the AI Assist button to automatically fill in the Job Description, Responsibilities, and Qualifications. If the initial content is not satisfactory, users have the option to regenerate or edit it as required.
Skills Advisor for Job Requisitions
AI recommends relevant and essential skills for job requisitions, which recruiters can add based on specific details, such as the position being hired for.
Time to Hire
The Time to Hire feature predicts how long it will take to make a first hire. It shows estimations during job requisition creation and updates to compare the estimated time to hire with the time since the requisition was opened. Once the first hire is made, it shows the estimated time versus the actual time to hire.
While creating the requisition, you can change parameters like Requisition Title, Education Level, and Locations to see AI’s estimation for these changing parameters.
Uncover Top Talent
Suggested Candidates
The AI Apps feature Suggested Candidates uses a machine learning model to suggest relevant candidates for open job requisitions. It compares candidate profiles with job details to find potential matches, saving recruiters time. Suggested candidates are displayed in the Suggested Candidates section of a job requisition, along with criteria that indicate their match.
Similar Candidates
Similar Candidates feature finds candidates with similar traits to an existing candidate, improving productivity and candidate quality. This feature is especially useful for professional or skilled positions with many candidates, reducing manual resume screening.
Empower Candidates
Candidate Job Fit Feedback
Gen AI evaluates how well a candidate's profile or resume matches job requirements, scoring them on a 0-5 scale based on skills, expertise, experience, and education. It also provides a summary of the scoring criteria, enhancing the quality of candidate experience by giving candidates immediate feedback on their fit for the role.
Skills Advisor for Candidates
Candidates can select Skills from an AI-recommended list tailored to a specific job based on their experience. They can effortlessly choose relevant skills and provide additional details.
Suggested Jobs & Similar Jobs
Candidates can use the Suggested Jobs feature to quickly find job opportunities that match their profile, while the Similar Jobs feature recommends related, similar job requisitions based on job requisitions that the candidate has already applied for. Both features use AI and machine learning algorithms to enhance job discovery and application.
Design More Impactful Career Sites Quickly Using AI
You can choose one or more job categories, and the AI will automatically generate category tiles on the splash page and corresponding landing pages. AI will create introductory text for the category landing pages. You can also customise these AI-created tiles, pages, and links as you like.
For the text content of your career site, you can enter a topic and word count with relevant text to generate additional content for career site paragraphs using Generative AI. You can edit and regenerate text as needed to quickly create and update paragraphs on your career site.
