Where is GenAI Recruitment Heading? 

When it comes to GenAI, the pace of change is relentless, and the opportunities are endless. New roles are emerging faster than companies can adapt, and top talent is harder to find (and retain).

We know that speed, precision, and agility are essential when the stakes are high and the market's moving quickly. Every hiring project is unique in GenAI, and your recruitment solution needs to be just as dynamic. 

Contract, Permanent, retained, embedded, executive recruitment – DeepRec.ai have the means to match the best candidates with the brightest opportunities in GenAI. 

How Competitive is the Talent Market Right Now? 

Very. Tech may seem like a saturated market, but hiring managers are well aware that the niche skills GenAI candidates bring to the table are few and far between. There's a limited talent pool to source from, and traditional hiring methods won't cut it, especially when employers are forced to compete against massive budgets. At a glance: 

  • GenAI roles have seen immense growth in financial services and the life sciences. Deep Tech startups and scaleups are now forced to compete with a much broader range of industries. 
  • Companies are paying a high premium on skill sets with the GenAI tag. Expect a 5% salary uplift at the minimum. 
  • Speed is a key differentiator. While this is always the case in recruitment, Deep Tech, and GenAI in particular, move faster than most markets. Top candidates will not wait around for a drawn-out process; there are too many opportunities out there. 
  • Currently, experience is highly concentrated. This means that the majority of real-world GenAI deployment experience sits with a small group of candidates. 
  • Talent mobility is a major consideration for today's employers. With limited talent pools, relocation capabilities are essential. We've supported various companies with this in recent hiring mandates, and it's helped them retain precision and speed in the process.
