TechSuite Inc. (Headquarters: Shibaura Ark Building 2F, 4-19-1 Shibaura, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Natsuki Hatakeyama) has released a new book titled "[Directly Applicable to Practice] The Textbook on Scout Recruitment in the Generative AI Era for Recruiters (TechSuite Books)" on Amazon.
## Background of Publication
"We understand the importance of scout recruitment, but it's simply too much work." This is the most common sentiment we hear from HR professionals we meet daily.
The job-to-applicant ratio for new graduates is 1.75, with an offer declination rate of 65.7%. The job-to-applicant ratio for mid-career hires is also rising year by year, exceeding 6 times in industries facing labor shortages. Simply posting job openings on navigation sites and waiting for applications is not enough to find the desired talent. Therefore, "scout recruitment," where companies directly approach candidates, is gaining attention.
The logic is simple: correctly select candidates, correctly scout them, and send out messages. If this principle is diligently executed, results will follow.
However, "diligently executing" this requires immense effort. It involves reading each individual's resume, crafting personalized scout messages that resonate with them, and sending hundreds to thousands of messages per month across multiple platforms. Moreover, rules differ by platform, and approaches vary between new graduates and mid-career hires. In many companies, recruitment is only one part of an HR professional's duties, and with daily tasks like labor management and training planning, few companies can consistently put in this much effort.
This is where the utilization of generative AI is expected to play a role. However, simply introducing generative AI does not solve the problem. It is difficult to give appropriate instructions to AI. Scout messages can become too 'AI-like,' leading to a decrease in response rates. Constantly switching between the AI and platform screens ultimately doesn't reduce the workload. It is not uncommon for companies to encounter these obstacles and stop using AI without realizing the expected benefits.
The answer we arrived at was not to "provide an AI tool," but to "fully outsource scout recruitment utilizing AI." We leverage generative AI for everything from candidate selection to creating personalized scout messages for each individual, with human consultants ensuring quality before messages are sent. This hybrid model of AI × human has yielded results for numerous companies.
This book systematically compiles the knowledge gained from that practical experience.
