AI and Recruitment part 3 of 3: How Should We Relate to AI ‘s Future in the Recruitment Industry?
This is the last part about artificial intelligence (AI) and the recruitment industry written by one of our headhunters.

What you should be aware of this when making a video application
The video application/CV has become very popular, and for a good reason. It can be an effective way to capture the recipient’s interest, but it is not always a good idea. Why not? It requires a lot of charisma and energy with a video (we’re talking from experience). It’s not very inspiring to watch a video with a vibe of
Think about your headline on LinkedIn – that’s your first impression
We have gradually given this advice many times: do not write “searching for a job” or “looking for a job in…” or “open to new opportunities” as a headline on your LinkedIn profile. We also don’t recommend that you only write your educational title. Why? Headhunters and HR consultants usually search for specific titles, keywords, or competences you possess. Therefore,
A fast and efficient recruitment process is essential to get the IT specialist
Even if you hired an external partner to conduct the recruitment, you as a decision maker must remember your own role.

Holiday time = career ideas
When we are on holiday, “we pull the plug”. Some check their emails and answer work calls, while other just completely relax. However, we often think about the start-up when the holiday ends and you must go back to work. As an employee, you can reconsider your job situation, and ask yourself: Are you looking forward to getting back to
Benefits of choosing the less obvious CV
We often hear that it is a good idea to hire a new employee based on the idea of “the whole person” instead of just focusing on their competences; personal competences are increasingly becoming more important. There can be great advantages by choosing a candidate that have been fighting to get where he/she is today, as they can be seen
“Headhunters steal candidates – even those they have already hired”
This week, our recruitment consultant, Cecilie Rosenlund, has written a brief remark on a myth we, as headhunters, often hear. Namely, that headhunters steal candidates – also those they have hired themselves. “In my world, candidates are not things or objects, and therefore they cannot be defined as something that can be stolen. Instead, I see people as independent individuals,
“Headhunters only think about getting the position filled”
This week, our headhunter, Claus, has been trying to dismiss the myth that “headhunters only think about getting the position filled.” Occasionally, in our daily lives as headhunters, we encounter the myth that we as headhunters are only interested in getting the position filled. In that statement, it is implicit that we don’t care whether the position is filled with
