Sphinx® Glass proudly participated in the 22nd Career Expo organized by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham Egypt), held at the Nile Ritz Carlton Hotel in Cairo. This prestigious event brought together professionals, job seekers, and corporate leaders to exchange knowledge and foster career development.
Representing Sphinx® Glass, our HR Manager, Mr. Ibrahim Gad, delivered a compelling lecture on “The Role of New Technology in Enhancing Recruitment and Hiring Processes.”
Technology: The Game-Changer in Recruitment
In his presentation, Mr. Gad highlighted the transformative impact of technology on the hiring process. He emphasized how tools like the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) have become integral in streamlining recruitment. By scanning and identifying keywords within job descriptions, ATS ensures that candidates align with the role’s requirements, giving job seekers an edge in creating targeted, professional CVs.
He also touched upon the importance of staying attuned to evolving recruitment technologies. With the ATS increasingly used by companies, candidates must adapt by researching job descriptions, identifying crucial keywords, and crafting resumes tailored to these systems.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Workforce
Artificial Intelligence (AI) took center stage as Mr. Gad explored its influence on future job markets. He introduced the concept of CDR—Create, Design, Replace—as the three pivotal effects of AI on employment. AI will:
Eliminate Certain Jobs: As automation advances, some traditional roles, such as data analysts, may become redundant.
Create New Roles: Fields like AI programming, virtual reality, and technology-driven customer service are emerging, offering a plethora of opportunities.
Redesign Existing Roles: Industries like healthcare, travel, and insurance are reshaping job profiles to incorporate AI-driven efficiencies.
These developments necessitate job seekers to embark on upskilling and reskilling journeys to remain competitive and relevant.
Future-Proofing Careers
Mr. Gad stressed the urgency for individuals to align their skills with market needs. He highlighted that over the next decade, candidates must acquire new competencies, ranging from technical expertise to soft skills, ensuring they stay relevant in a dynamic job landscape. From AI programming to virtual reality training, the future job market will favor those who proactively enhance their abilities.
Preparing for the New Era
The session concluded with actionable advice for attendees. Mr. Gad underscored the significance of:
Embracing continuous learning to adapt to technological changes.
Crafting CVs that resonate with modern recruitment systems.
Exploring emerging fields driven by AI and digital transformation.
