Our current openings
Artificial intelligence has transformed recruitment. Automated screening tools, predictive analytics and AI-driven assessments now play a major role in how companies identify and evaluate candidates. While these technologies bring speed and efficiency, they also risk stripping away the personal connection that defines great hiring. At Forma Mentis Talent, the balance between human understanding and smart technology is central to everything we do. We believe recruitment should never lose its human heart — even in an AI-driven world.
The Rise of AI in Recruitment
Over the past decade, AI has reshaped the recruitment landscape. It can scan thousands of CVs in seconds, identify patterns in career histories and even predict a candidate’s potential performance based on data. These innovations have undoubtedly streamlined hiring, saving time and reducing manual workloads.
Why the Human Element Still Matters
Recruitment is ultimately about people — their motivations, aspirations and values. These qualities can’t always be captured in data or predicted by algorithms. Great hiring requires intuition, empathy and emotional intelligence — skills that remain uniquely human.
Using AI
Responsibly
Forma Mentis Talent embraces technology in a way that supports — not defines — recruitment. We use AI tools to handle time-consuming tasks such as CV scanning, initial matching and communication management. This allows us to dedicate more time to what matters most: understanding people.
Addressing the Challenges of AI in Hiring
AI brings powerful capabilities, but it also introduces new risks. Automated systems can inadvertently favour certain demographics or overlook candidates with unconventional backgrounds. When recruitment becomes overly data-driven, creativity and individuality can be lost.
The Mindset-First Advantage
The name Forma Mentis means mindset, and that philosophy sits at the heart of our approach. We believe a person’s mindset — their attitude, curiosity and resilience — often determines long-term success more than any qualification. AI can identify skills, but it can’t measure drive or emotional intelligence.
How We Balance People and Technology
The key to modern recruitment lies in balance. Forma Mentis Talent combines human expertise with smart digital tools to create a streamlined, insight-driven process.
