As businesses continue to turn to automation and AI to improve and streamline their hiring process, human connection becomes even more so important. Recruiters may automate a job, but not theirs; establishing meaningful and human relationships with candidates cannot be replaced by technology. As a matter of fact, companies with staff who have higher levels of emotional intelligence (EQ) have 63% less turnover than companies with lower EQ. Emotionally intelligent recruiters are more likely to detect and hire emotionally intelligent candidates faster, resulting in a cohesive, productive, and collaborative work culture.
