Duesseldorf, 06.06.2023. The Stepstone Group, a leading digital recruitment platform, is strengthening its position in developing and offering AI-based recruiting tools by releasing its first plugin for job search for the German market on ChatGPT. With the new plugin, job seekers can engage in natural, AI-powered conversations that deliver personalized and precise results. With a strong focus on leveraging conversational AI technologies, the corporation will bring job offers and applicants together even more directly in the future.

Job search becomes a conversation
"We are pleased that with the ChatGPT plugin we are able to make one more avenue available to our users and by that make it easier to find the right job. For years, The Stepstone Group has been continuously developing innovations and products in the broad field of conversational AI. - And as a globally leading recruiting platform, we remain committed towards leveraging AI even further to unlock value for job seekers as well as for recruiters," says Sebastian Dettmers, CEO of The Stepstone Group, and adds: "We are at the beginning of a labor market revolution - and with it a revolution of the job search.”

Specialization in AI-based job search tools
"Given that job search can be stressful and sometimes a lonely task, providing a conversational experience to our users has been a key focus area for my team of developers. A couple of years back through investments in our own conversational AI, last year with some key innovations and now with the increased availability of Large Language models, like GPT-4, we are excited to further raise the conversational experience bar for the users,” says Somnath Biswas, Head of Product at The Stepstone Group.
A current Stepstone survey revealed that more than every second (55 per cent) of the surveyed people expect the use of AI to make application processes for applicants more efficient: "Search is fast becoming conversational, and with our goal of taking our jobs to where the user is, building the ChatGPT plugin was the most logical next step for us. Now any ChatGPT Plus user, searching for a job in Germany can find the right job over a chat", concludes Biswas.

About The Plugin
The Stepstone Group is one of the first job platforms worldwide and the first job platform which is offering jobs specifically for the German market to release a plugin to ChatGPT, that is straight connected to the platform www.Stepstone.de. ChatGPT Plus users can now install the plugin from the plugin store on https://chat.openai.com and experience how the future job search could take place as a conversation.

About The Study
We are currently experiencing the next big revolution in the labour market. And we are all part of it: Artificial Intelligence will fundamentally change the world of work as we know it. Automation, increased efficiency and new employment opportunities are just some of the expected effects. What opportunities does AI offer the working world in Germany and how do employees view the use of AI? The Stepstone Group investigated these and other questions in an online survey. More than 3,000 people took part in the survey from mid-May to early June 2023. Of these, about 24 per cent have leadership responsibilities, while about 19 per cent are in recruiting. The results are representative of the working population in Germany.
