AI in recruiting processes

Tamara

Among the most common misconceptions about AI, there is one that is seen as applicable mainly to vehicle automation and robotics areas. Nevertheless, this is far from true. Besides the application of artificial intelligence in these industries, it is also widely applied in many other spheres of business activity, such as healthcare, finance, transport, advertising, education, and many others.

Recruiting is another business area that is increasingly embracing the power of AI. And it is the application of AI in recruitment, or artificial intelligence and recruitment, that will be discussed in the article.

AI based recruitment, or AI powered recruiting, is the utilization of artificial intelligence technologies that help recruiters automate the most labor-intensive and time-consuming recruiting processes. Thus, the use of AI in recruitment allows recruiters and sourcers to focus on analyzing the candidates’ experience and skills and improve the hiring quality.

AI recruiting tools  can serve to perform the following tasks:

  • improving the quality of job descriptions by analyzing sentiment in job descriptions to identify potentially biased and formulaic language;
  • optimization of repetitive tasks of a large volume, such as the automatic selection of candidates based on resume analysis;
  • obtaining data on the personnel reserve within the company;
  • the application of blind selection to eliminate subjective bias.

Several AI recruiting drawbacks

AI in recruitment

Despite the undeniable advantages, AI recruiting also has some drawbacks:

  • Lack of human judgment

With the ability to predict patterns and analyze details, AI sometimes lacks human judgment when screening and evaluating candidates.

  • Insufficient accuracy

The percentage of AI estimation accuracy depends on how accurate and complete data was provided. And the lack or inaccuracy of data can lead to an erroneous candidate assessment.

  • Impersonality

AI does not know how to build strong and trusting relationships with the candidate. While chatbots are great at answering frequently asked questions, only a recruiter can create a strong relationship with the candidate and help them open up and demonstrate all their potential.

  • Lack of flexibility

On the one hand, using AI will make the recruitment process fair and impartial. However, on the other hand, incorrectly set selection parameters may just lead to bias.

Some AI recruitment advantages

Whatever the disadvantages of using artificial intelligence in recruitment, the benefits easily outweigh them:

  • Reducing human bias

No matter how professional the recruiter is, even the most experienced recruiter may still have some prejudice or personal dislike against a particular candidate that will affect their decision. AI has no such bias.

  • Speeding up the recruiting process

AI recruiting tools can shorten the hiring process several times compared to when it takes the most experienced recruiter to close a position.

  • Improving the quality of recruiting

Even the most diligent and skilled recruiter cannot match AI tools in speed and quality of filtering and selecting candidates.

  • Reducing administration time

AI software does an excellent job of reducing administrative time and performing administrative tasks, increasing the efficiency of automation.

Summary

AI based recruitment

The future of recruiting is definitely and undeniably in AI technology. Artificial intelligence is already bringing unconditional benefits to companies, and there will only be more in the following years. Already, AI helps reduce the time of hiring and improve its quality, free employees from performing laborious and time-consuming tasks, and generally cut down the number of hired workers, focusing more on their qualifications and skills.
