Can AI Help Your Recruitment and Application Process?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved beyond a concept and found itself integrated with standard business models. While it’s far from mass adoption, organizations utilize AI and smart learning to help automate certain tasks, streamlining workplace efficiency.

One of those areas falls under the recruitment and application process. As a company, you no doubt receive dozens of applications for a variety of positions. Depending on the market, this could escalate into the hundreds. In high-demand scenarios, the thousands! This, imaginably, is a lot of ground to cover and requires an intense amount of time and energy to search through qualified candidates.

But, as you know, not all candidates meet the standards you need (or exceed them). Or, your business requires more efficient ways to engage potential candidates – without the human element involved. AI can participate in the hiring process, cutting down on certain tedious aspects of hiring while strengthening your ability to find ideal new staff.

The Benefits of AI

For example, identifying candidates comes down to applications. You need to target the most valuable applications as quickly as possible. AI can help highlight experience, target keywords, and otherwise sort through applicants which may not meet your criteria.

But this is only one piece of the puzzle. It can also use predictive methods to gauge how best-suited employees are to a specific position, based on online data. Profiles linked from websites like LinkedIn allow AI to eliminate some of the bias which goes into recruiting, while also identifying solid-fit candidates.

Much of this is possible because of how expansive AI searches are, drawing from enormous pools of data. Such can cover everything from education to household information, painting a bigger picture of the candidates available.

Adding to this, it can even use predictive methods to determine best-fit choices based on video interviews. That’s right, drawing from its own source of top-rated answers, AI can match client interviews to ones likelier to succeed based on confidence in response, voice, and other variables.

Because of all these factors, AI helps automate the hiring process and saves a valuable resource: time. While it’s still important for HR teams and management to make the final call, AI can bring a whole host of expert tools to the table in order to locate the best client for the job.

While we’re still a long way from the mass adoption of Artificial Intelligence – especially in recruiting processes – no doubt this valuable technology can play an integral role in finding new hires. It cuts costs, increases efficiency, and removes a lot of the grunt-work out of a normally tedious process. Consider AI in your hiring model if you feel the process is taking too long or could use some fine-tuning.
