We are excited to share the latest insights from our Q2 U.S. Jobs Report, offering key data points about the U.S. labor market in the second quarter of 2024. The data in this U.S. report comes from Aspen Technology Labs’ JobsIndex, which aggregates daily vacancy information from more than 115,000 company career sites, ensuring you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Overall, this quarter, vacancies continued their upward trend from Q1 (which saw a 1.2% QoQ increase), ticking up 0.4% quarter over quarter. While the growth is modest, it signals that the job market continues to recover after a contraction in 2023, which followed a record-high year for job listings in 2022.

Recruitment marketing and advertising takes many of its cues from consumer marketing and advertising. This has always been the truth. Where consumer marketing goes, we go too.

In this digital day and age, it’s important to reflect on the trends in consumer marketing and advertising from time to time, so we can learn or see where we are going next.

Despite the hype around generative AI (GenAI), many organizations still can’t define or prioritize its positive impact on HR and talent acquisition. So while 55% of organizations have increased investment in GenAI since its rise in popularity, only 4% of investment is going to HR functions, according to a recent Gartner poll.

But think about it: talent leaders are consistently under pressure to gain a competitive edge and produce better outcomes, fast. Generative AI delivers both.

While HR and TA haven’t seen a major impact from AI yet, it’s coming. Cielo has worked with clients and its own experts to build and test a range of AI solutions, custom-trained for talent acquisition.

With over a year of design, feedback and refinement, a new set of industry principles for responsible AI use emerged. Informed by those principles, we’ve developed, piloted and proven a GenAI-based solution, built for talent acquisition – all to bring you tangible benefits and provide better talent experiences for all.

“In a competitive, noisy market with many emerging, and sometimes unproven, methodologies and technologies, Cielo has established a responsible approach to artificial intelligence in human resources & talent acquisition. At Cielo, their data scientists, engineers, and talent acquisition experts collaborate to improve GenAI models, assess data for relevancy and accuracy, and operate in a secure environment, thus contributing to an enhanced experience for their clients and candidates. They are not only navigating the landscape but also handsomely contributing to its future development," says Arkadev Basak, Partner at Everest Group.

It’s an exciting time to be in human resources (HR) and talent acquisition (TA). Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world around us and, in many ways, these industries are at the center of the changes. Integral to hiring, nurturing and supporting employees, HR and TA affect millions of people and influence the broader global economy, so any improvements can have a huge positive impact. Over three-quarters of HR leaders now believe that they must implement AI soon or risk falling behind competitors.

In the context of HR, two main categories of AI have immense potential – generative AI and predictive AI. Generative AI encompasses popular platforms like ChatGPT and Bard for text generation and Dall-E and Midjourney for image generation. Predictive AI can forecast future events and trends to better inform decision making. This article will primarily focus on generative AI, where the biggest developments are currently taking place.

AI is already used extensively across some HR functions, with varying degrees of effectiveness. The real promise, however, lies in current developments and those on the way. The winners of tomorrow will be those who adopt a clear and informed AI strategy today.

So, what changes are on the horizon (or even closer)? And how can your HR function leverage emerging technologies? Read this article from Cielo to dive into AI for HR and how organizations can take advantage of this technological revolution.
