As a diverse organization and supplier for our employees and contingent workers, Apidel Technologies recognizes that working with AI is a key role, and managing this dynamic workforce should be a strategic priority. The contingent workforce industry is rapidly evolving, driven by the need for flexibility, agility, and cost-efficiency. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing the contingent workforce industry, enabling organizations to optimize talent acquisition, enhance workforce management, and drive operational excellence. In this article, we will explore the transformative power of AI in shaping the future of the contingent workforce industry.
1) Efficient Talent Acquisition:
A few years back, we often heard recruiters express concerns about the time required to upload resumes to ATS and format them. However, with the advent of AI, things have changed. AI enhances the speed and accuracy of candidate screening, enabling our team to make informed hiring decisions while saving time and resources.
Up to 40% of a recruiter’s time can be spent entering data into an ATS or sorting through resumes. This time is far better spent engaging with candidates, building relationships, and improving the candidate experience.
2) Erudite Workforce Management:
AI is transforming the way organizations like ours manage their contingent workforce. AI-powered platforms such as JobDiva and free-to-use AI platforms assist in scheduling, task allocation, and performance tracking, optimizing productivity and enabling efficient resource allocation.
If the AI sees you’ve performed an action 20 times, it will ask you if you want to automate the action from now on.
3) Enhanced Compliance and Risk Management:
Compliance and risk management are critical considerations in the contingent workforce industry. AI can assist in monitoring compliance with labor laws, regulatory requirements, and contractual obligations by analyzing contracts, invoices, and other relevant documents. We at Apidel utilize proper training and tools to ensure compliance remains intact throughout the process.
The value of AI in ensuring risk management across organizations is getting more attention, as the recent report claims that more than 40% of privacy compliance technology will rely on AI by 2023.
4) Exclusive Employee Experience:
We have witnessed the impact and results of this approach with our contingent workers, as Apidel’s Employee Relations teams collaborate closely with them to ensure the best possible experience on every project. Moreover, leveraging AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants will undoubtedly enhance the employee experience for contingent workers. Employees can receive real-time updates, access training materials, and seek guidance on policies, fostering a sense of belonging and improving engagement within the organization.
According to a recent survey, more than 80 percent of HR leaders believe that employee experience is critical to the success of their organizations.
5) Enrich Talent Development and Upskilling:
AI-powered platforms can identify skill gaps among contingent workers and recommend personalized training programs to bridge those gaps. By analyzing performance data and assessing industry trends, AI algorithms can identify emerging skills and suggest upskilling opportunities. This ensures that contingent workers are equipped with the necessary skills to meet evolving project requirements. AI platforms like ChatGPT provide immense knowledge to Apidel’s recruitment team for any role they are working on, enabling them to ask relevant questions and engage in insightful conversations with contingent workers.
Recent reports suggest that up between 400 million and 800 million individuals could be displaced by automation and need to find new jobs by 2030 around the world. However, jobs that require human creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and social skills are less likely to be automated, including teaching, healthcare, law, and creative industries.
Conclusion:
Artificial Intelligence is at the forefront of this revolution, reshaping talent acquisition, workforce management, compliance, employee experience, and upskilling. As organizations like Apidel continue to embrace the contingent workforce model, harnessing the power of AI.
