Generative AI for Recruiters: What Industry Experts Are Saying—and Why CloudApper Stands Out

The recruiting industry is undergoing a massive transformation, and Generative AI for recruiters is at the heart of it. Talent acquisition leaders across industries are not only adopting AI—they’re embracing it as a necessity for strategic hiring, skills-based decisions, and long-term workforce success.

From reducing repetitive tasks to unlocking deep talent insights, GAI (Generative AI) is quickly becoming an indispensable tool. What was once a process-heavy job is now becoming more strategic, human-centered, and data-driven thanks to tools that automate, analyze, and assist in ways never seen before.

So, what exactly are top recruitment experts saying about GAI? And how is CloudApper AI Recruiter positioning itself ahead of the curve? Let’s dive in.

AI and GAI Adoption Is Accelerating Fast

According to LinkedIn’s 2025 Future of Recruiting report, 73% of talent acquisition professionals believe that AI will fundamentally change how organizations hire. In fact, 37% of companies are already integrating or experimenting with GAI in their recruitment operations—a notable jump from just 27% a year earlier.

What’s driving this momentum?

• Recruiters using GAI save an average of 20% of their workweek
• 35% of GAI adopters redirect this saved time toward candidate screening
• 26% spend it on skills assessments, which are now central to hiring decisions

This change allows hiring teams to shift focus—from pushing paperwork to building relationships and making smarter, skills-first hiring decisions.

Industry Experts Are All In on GAI

Recruitment leaders are not just aware of this change—they’re shaping it.

“Recruiters will be more like career coaches—providing an executive recruiter kind of experience.”

– John Vlastelica, CEO of Recruiting Toolbox

With GAI handling repetitive tasks like resume parsing, scheduling, and initial outreach, recruiters now have more time to provide the high-touch support candidates expect.

“The more we can leverage AI to assess your skills and match you with different jobs, the more you can be successful.”

– Eric Dozier, EVP of HR and Diversity, Eli Lilly

“We have more information than ever before, greater insights on our own workforce, the labor market, and the skills we need to enable our growth strategy.”

– Noel Brown, Global Head of Talent Acquisition, HSBC

“The single most important thing talent leaders need to do is ‘AI self-enable.’ You cannot make decisions about the direction of your AI-enabled Talent Acquisition team if you are not a fluent user of AI yourself.”

– Hung Lee, Curator, Recruiting Brainfood

This is the new age of recruitment: fast, strategic, and built on a blend of human connection and AI insight.

But There’s a Catch: Real Concerns Are Emerging

Despite the excitement, adoption of Generative AI in recruitment is not without its barriers. Recruiters and HR leaders have real concerns—especially when using open-source or generic AI platforms that rely on public data or lack enterprise-grade control.

LinkedIn’s research highlights the top five concerns that talent professionals face when implementing GAI tools:

These challenges aren’t theoretical—they’re real barriers to adoption. From sensitive candidate data exposure to inconsistent results and unclear legal frameworks, using off-the-shelf or open-source GAI platforms can create more risk than reward.

“AI is a tool to augment human judgment, not replace it. Successful organizations will find the right balance.”

– Glen Cathey, SVP, Randstad

That balance depends on choosing AI solutions that are secure, reliable, and designed for enterprise compliance—which is where most generic GAI tools fall short.
