Recruitment and Selection

Recruitment for a Tech Startup

AI is quickly revolutionizing industries, with AI Innovations Inc. leading the way in this

shift. This innovative tech startup, established by a forward-thinking group of entrepreneurs,

aims to transform industries such as healthcare, finance, and retail using cutting-edge AI

solutions. As the business grows, it becomes essential to attract top talent. It is crucial to hire

talented professionals, like software engineers and data scientists, to stay competitive. AI

Innovations Inc. strives to form a dynamic team that reflects its values of collaboration and

constant learning through crafting attractive job descriptions and postings. Placing a strong

emphasis on intelligent recruitment will play a vital role in forming the team at AI Innovations

Inc. and advancing its goal of revolutionizing industries with artificial intelligence.

Recruitment Strategy

To attract the best talented workers for the technical positions required by the company AI

Innovations Inc., a good comprehensive recruitment strategy will be implemented, taking into

account factors such as sourcing methods, candidate selection processes, employer branding, and

diversity initiatives.

Sourcing methods

 Online job platforms: Considering that the requirement is for more technical jobs,

platforms such as LinkedIn will be used, some a little more specialized such as
3

"Stack Overflow Jobs", since it is more segmented to the candidates being sought,

as it is specifically for the IT sector. (Montandon, Politowski, Silva, Valente,

Petrillo & Guéhéneuc, 2021).

 Advertising through social networks: Nowadays, social networks are very helpful

in reaching specific candidates. Posting an advertisement for the profile of the

worker you are looking for will allow you to have a good reach of candidates

(Schwind, Uggerslev, Wagar & Fassina, 2022). Networks such as Twitter,

Facebook, and specialized forums on technology and artificial intelligence.

 Employee referrals: Making an internal post in the company about job offers, with

current workers since they already have the necessary skills and are in the field,

they can meet other people who do the same job (Schwind, Uggerslev, Wagar &

Fassina, 2022). This can be accompanied by bonuses for referred candidates as

motivation.

 Networking events: attending technology-specific meetups such as conferences and

career fairs in order to reach out to talent who may not have access to the internet or

be familiar with recruiting through job platforms but may have a good level of

experience over the years (Schwind, Uggerslev, Wagar & Fassina, 2022).

Screening Process

 Applicant Tracking System (ATS): In order to meet the company's goals of having

staff interested in this technological area on its team, the software will be used to

automate the hiring process, classifying the resumes and applications that arrive for

the different positions. This tool is very useful and is used in many companies, as it
4

provides a resume scanner and filters out, using keywords related to the job

description, the candidates that meet the required criteria and will allow an initial

selection to be made. (Peicheva, 2022)

 Telephone interviews: Once the candidates have been filtered by the ATS,

telephone interviews will be carried out by the selection team, to carry out a

preliminary evaluation of the candidates, inquiring about their interests, clarifying

information on the resume, and evaluating their communication skills. It can last

between 10 to 15 minutes.

 Technical Assessments: Considering that the company is specialized in the entire

field of technology and artificial intelligence, following this same culture, a more

structured assessment will be implemented to assess the skills required for the

position in technical terms such as machine learning engineers, AI researchers, and

cybersecurity experts. For this, tools such as HackerRank can be used, which

evaluates candidates by solving programming problems in real time (Zinovieva,

Artemchuk, Iatsyshyn, Popov, Kovach, Iatsyshyn & Radchenko, 2021).

Employer branding

 Company culture: Methodologies will be implemented to show the company's

commitment to innovation, collaboration, and learning through the website and

online forums or social networks.

 Events to meet other employees: Socialization events will be held for employees

who already work at the company in order to obtain truthful testimonials for future

employees and to allow them to learn a little more about the company.
5

Diversity initiatives

 Inclusive jobs: Inclusive language will be used to eliminate bias when describing the jobs

for the required positions. (Schwind, Uggerslev, Wagar & Fassina, 2022).

 Holding inclusive job fairs: This will allow us to reach vulnerable communities who will

be able to participate in the selection process for the company. (Schwind, Uggerslev,

Wagar & Fassina, 2022).
