Creative Use of AI in Your JDs
We thought about doing a recap of the RecOps Conference here, but we’ll save that for a separate, special edition and instead opt for a quick tip from the Conference. This one is brought to you by Maksym Dziarmaga. If you aren’t familiar with Maksym, beyond being a phenomenal RecOps pro, he is also a hilarious comedian and super creative.
Anywho, here is the tip: Use AI to generate images or movies for your JDs. While many are using AI to help write or fine-tune their JDs, you can take it one step further to create a more multimedia-driven and sensory experience for your candidates. Additionally, this can also come in handy if you want to record videos of the hiring managers but don’t have enough time or budget for a professionally done video.

#YourNextHire / People Looking In the RecOps Community
Short Bio
I started off as an entry-level RC and quickly jumped into a lead position before pivoting into Talent Ops/Programs in a little over a year! I was tasked with driving our Ashby implementation, setting up all the new processes to go with it, and revamping all of our programs (plus documenting all the tiny details). My superpower is process optimization, organizing resources, and building tools to get things done faster and more efficiently! And answering emails & Slack messages unhumanly fast.
List of roles you are looking for:
Senior Recruiting Coordinator
Anything in Talent Programs or Operations
People Ops Generalist

My multilingual capabilities, project management skills, and dedication to operational excellence position me as a key contributor to any talent operations team, particularly in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
