How Artificial Intelligence is Shaping Recruitment

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has continued to make a breakthrough in the world of recruitment. It is completely reshaping the way we source, reach, interview, and obtain top talent by automating the mundane processes for faster and more efficient hiring. No more manually sourcing and reaching out to the talent pool… AI can assess the pool for us!

Abilities

AI can send emails to qualified talent and follow up with them to schedule interviews. Even if the potential candidate has questions during that pre-interview process, there will be no more constant back and forth emailing or phone conversations. Now, there are built-in programs that allow AI to take care of these frequently asked questions for you!

No More Bias

When AI is doing the pre-interview sorting, this will reduce our natural human bias. As much as we want to believe there’s no bias in the recruitment realm, we’d be wrong. With AI analyzing the talent pool, it is configured to look for qualified applicants based on predetermined measurements. As smart as the technology is, it’s not smart enough to look beyond our defined parameters, thus eliminating choices made based on age, sex, gender, etc.

Interactive Video

There are AI platforms that can and will perform video interviews and provide feedback to the candidates and the company. These pre-hiring video assessments combine AI and industrial organizational psychology techniques to transform the hiring processes. These programs have the capability to analyze body language, facial expressions, response times, and more!

With AI compiling quantifiable data for us, we will be able to get a much more accurate and inclusive candidate profile. More in-depth assessments and other tools, such as the virtual interactive videos, will provide a comprehensive outlook on a candidate’s future performance and alignment with your company.

Now, talent acquisition leaders can focus on the human aspects that make an organization thrive, improving the overall candidate and new employee experience!
