The recruitment industry is undergoing a profound transformation, thanks to the integration of AI. Up until recently, recruiting candidates involved tedious tasks like manually sifting through resumes, and conducting interviews. Today, AI-powered tools transformed these processes making recruiters more efficient and objective. Automatization enhanced candidate screening making the hiring process less stressful for recruiters and candidates alike.
AI-Powered Candidate Sourcing Tools
Using AI assisted Applicant Tracking System can significantly speed up the process of selecting the right candidate for the job. It can quickly scan through hundreds of resumes setting apart the ones that fulfill the requirements of the position. AI tools gather information from social media accounts, job boards and even internal databases saving time for recruiters so that they can focus on the best suited candidates. Even though this might seem a bit dehumanizing to some people, it actually also saves a lot of time to applicants while giving them a fair chance at the position without worrying about recruiters personal inclinations.
AI for Resume Screening and Shortlisting
Screening every single resume is a lengthy process that used to take the majority of the recruiters time. Nowadays, AI is able to rake through CVs quickly and without bias. It can identify experience, special skills, and certain keywords pre-established by the recruiters. Some AI is so advanced that it can engage in an initial interview with a candidate, before the recruiters even meet the person, to determine cognitive and emotional traits. Furthermore, it can answer common questions and schedule future interviews in order to reduce the workload on the hiring team. One of the most important aspects of using AI is eliminating the human emotions that can easily cloud the judgement of the recruiter.
AI-Driven Interviewing and Candidate Assessment
Interviewing candidates is one of the most excruciating processes in the whole recruiting process. It’s stressful for potential employees, as well as the recruiting team. With AI tools like chatbots, and video calls, recruiters are able to eliminate bias from the practice while still analysing candidate responses, voice tone, body language, and facial expressions. It can guide the applicants through the process while evaluating candidates’ communication skills and cultural fit into the company. This is a valuable tool for any hiring team looking for a faster and more systematic process that will swiftly sift through resumes and narrow down the procedure to just a few, best-suited people for the position needed.
AI-Powered Predictive Analytics
Predictive analytics can help recruiters foresee the success of candidates in specific roles. It’s probably one of the most useful aspects of using AI in the hiring process. By looking and analyzing candidates’ previous employment, specific achievements and social life, AI can assume with a reasonable precision whether or not the applicant is the best fit. This way decisions are made by considering facts and numbers instead of basing the hiring on personal preferences of the recruiters. With an added advantage of potentially predicting the applicants’ ability to integrate into the company and work as part of the team with others.
