Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the hiring landscape and has helped companies streamline recruitment outcomes, improve candidate matching, and provide more data-driven information when making hiring decisions. With AI constantly being improved and gathering more data on the company, it continues to be a powerful tool to acquire and vet top talent.
One of AI’s benefits in recruitment is that it can improve efficiency, accuracy, and objectivity in the hiring process. As AI continues to develop, we will see this tool used more prominently in other business processes.
Five Ways AI Has Changed the Hiring Landscape
5 Ways AI plays a role in the hiring process.
1. Automated resume screening
AI is a simple and efficient way to scan and evaluate resumes and screen for candidates who are a good fit for the open role. It can filter candidates based on specific skills and qualifications which helps save the hiring manager’s time and reduces bias.
2. Improved candidate matching
Because AI matches and filters candidates through skills, experience, and professional background, it finds candidates that are a good match for the role and the company leading to more successful job placements.
3. Hiring analytics
Hiring managers can use the data and analytics collected by AI systems to make more informed decisions. Additionally, AI can help analyze historical data to further forecast and conclude which candidates will be a good fit for the role.
4. Reduced bias during the process
Properly designed AI has been shown to help reduce hiring bias because it only focuses on qualifications and skills and will consider a diverse range of candidates instead of what the candidates look like and where they are from.
5. Enhanced candidate experience
AI can also help improve the candidate experience! If you use AI chatbots or virtual assistants, you can improve communication, be more available to potential candidates and schedule interviews with ease. Additionally, candidates can be informed of their application status and will have a more engaging experience overall.
