The climate for global talent hiring continues to experience significant turbulence, with time to hire rates at an all-time high, according to the Josh Bersin Company. Research showed that average time-to-hire rates for the first quarter of 2023 alone, had increased across all industries by one day, despite the best efforts of employers. This pushes an already stretched recruitment process to 43 days on average. And across all industries, the research shows a widening gap between “easy to fill” and “difficult to fill” roles.

The developer-focused job board Arc launched HireAI, an AI-powered solution intended to simplify the hiring process. HireAI matches companies and candidates from its global developer network. It also takes on tasks such as candidate search, resume screening and manual outreach. HireAI uses OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 to identify matching candidates from Arc’s pool of some 250,000 developers worldwide.
