Review of the ReKrute Afterwork: AI for Your Recruitment

On Thursday, October 1st, we brought together HR Directors, managers, and HR professionals for our first afterwork event of the season, centered around a question that has become essential: "How will AI revolutionize our way of recruiting, and what tools do we offer you for this?"

The goal of this meeting was clear: to go beyond promises and announcements to discuss concrete use cases, share advancements already available, and open a discussion on how artificial intelligence will transform recruitment practices in the coming months.

From Promise to Very Real Uses

One of the first observations of the evening: AI is no longer just a future prospect. It is clearly operational at all levels at ReKrute!

Several developments are already integrated into recruiters' daily use: semantic vector matching on job postings or the CV database, CV parsing, analysis of professional history, and sourcing agents capable of interacting with you to find the best CVs, just like an HR consultant would. Your imagination is the only limit to what you can ask Kiara.

Candidate search particularly illustrates this transformation and the fact that it meets your needs. Today, over 300 recruiters use AI search daily in the ReKrute CV database!

Instead of relying only on keyword combinations, you can now search for profiles based on the meaning of their career path, starting from a reference CV, identify the most relevant candidates for a job offer, or combine classic search with artificial intelligence.

Kiara Sourcing Agent: AI as a Partner for Talent Recruitment

The afterwork also revisited Kiara Sourcing Agent, which has been in use since June.

Its role: to allow you to describe your needs, refine your criteria, and more quickly identify relevant profiles in the CV database.

The figures presented during the evening already show its adoption: over 300 recruiters use AI search, 685 interviews have been conducted with the agent, and 1.7 million CVs have been vectorized in the database!

But the exceptional new feature is that the agent does more than just select CVs for you! The agent can write reports on a candidate, perform an in-depth analysis between several candidates, suggest specific interview questions for each candidate, or even provide you with a report to attach to your email to the manager recommending a CV. And there are many more features; your imagination is the only limit to what you can ask Kiara.

A Strong Belief: AI Suggests, the Recruiter Decides

Another central topic of discussion: how far should automation go?

ReKrute's position is clear: artificial intelligence can suggest, provide reasons, and rank, but it should not decide in place of the recruiter.

All applications remain accessible even if you are recommended those that match best, and no candidate is invisibly rejected by the machine.

The goal is therefore to save time on analysis and search, without taking away from the recruiter what remains at the heart of their job: understanding, meeting, and deciding.

AI Also Evolves on the Candidate Side

The transformation does not only concern recruiters.

The afterwork also presented several new AI features for candidates, notably Traak, the tool that helps them prepare for interviews, as well as a Candidate Dashboard offering personalized suggestions.

This evolution reflects a simple belief: to truly improve recruitment, we must advance both sides of the meeting.

An Evening to Compare Ideas with Real-World Situations

Beyond the demonstrations and innovations presented, this afterwork's main purpose was to create a space for exchange.

HR professionals, managers, and experts were able to share their experiences, questions, and expectations regarding AI: what it can already do, what it could transform tomorrow, but also the limits that are essential to maintain.

One thing emerged from this first event of the season: AI is no longer a topic to observe from afar. It is already changing recruitment practices.

The real question is therefore no longer whether it will become part of recruiters' daily lives, but how to use it to gain efficiency while keeping the human element at the core of decision-making.
