The headline numbers
- About 45 percent of organisations already use AI in HR, and about 44 percent use it in recruitment.
- By 2025, about 60 percent expect AI across end to end recruiting, and about 80 percent across broader HR.
- About 88 percent use AI in at least one business function, yet only about 1 percent are fully mature.
Takeaway: AI speeds screening and scheduling. It does not replace the core reasons people get hired. Clear value, direct communication, and solid interviews still win offers.
What Is Changing
- Faster parsing of CVs and LinkedIn.
- Tighter keyword matching and quicker checks for gaps or inconsistencies.
- Shorter attention windows.
What Is Not Changing
- Employers still ask one question. What value will you deliver in the next twelve months
- People still hire people after a conversation they trust.
Your North Star: The Value Formula
Value = Before to After multiplied by Scale multiplied by Frequency
Example:
Unplanned downtime fell 28 percent in six months across four lines. I standardised preventive maintenance routines and weekly checks.
Build a Value Bank with six to ten lines like this. You will use it in your CV, LinkedIn, video, and interviews.
The 7–70–700 Rule
7 seconds – One sentence that shows impact.
Cut rework 34 percent across three sites in nine months using SPC checks and operator training.
70 seconds – A short video on your phone with subtitles. Say who you help, give one proof line, name a tool or standard, and invite a chat.
700 words – Your profile pack. A CV summary and a LinkedIn About plus three to five proof bullets that mirror your Value Bank. Use NZD or AUD, local titles, and work rights.
Keep these three aligned. Filters and interviews both become easier.
Pain Points and Simple Fixes
“I cannot extract metrics from my past work”
This is a state of brain freeze. It is best resolved through a short dialogue with someone who understands what your industry leaders require and can map that to your past projects and achievements.
“My CV looks good but underperforms”
When your strengths are organised in a comprehensive and concise way, document creation becomes simple. The Value Bank gives you categories and proof. Your CV, LinkedIn, and cover notes then stay consistent.
“I do not know what to say on video”
Use the same fix as the metrics problem. A brief conversation with an experienced guide will surface what content wins interviews in your role and industry. Once your seven second line is clear, your seventy second script writes itself.
“Outreach feels awkward”
It becomes simple when someone who knows your strengths demonstrates live how to engage hiring managers in your industry who are advertising roles you can do. Watching relevant demonstrations for about one and a half hours settles the awkward feeling and gives clear direction. The key is experienced guidance.
“Interviews go off track”
Pivots are easy when your mind is full of short successful stories about your strengths. This comes from solid preparation. Use a systematic approach and cover all strength categories with memorable examples that match the role requirements.
Employer Lens
Employers still need to attract talent, run a competitive process, and select the best fit with proven value. Your seven second line, your seventy second video, and your seven hundred word profile make their work easier. You show fit, evidence, and low risk.
Final Word
AI is changing the speed of hiring. The reason someone hires you has not changed. Everything still returns to your proven strengths, which are tied to past projects and achievements. Present them clearly. Prepare well and you will perform well.
A short conversation with an experienced job finding guide works like a skeleton key. It unlocks your metrics, clarifies your seven second line, helps script your seventy second video, strengthens your seven hundred word profile, and shows you how to contact the right employers with confidence.
