AI’s advantages and how it’s changing the recruiting process
With traditional methods of recruiting, in order to identify the ideal candidate or position, both recruiters and applicants have to go through numerous profiles and job postings. However, artificial intelligence can set a preference for a job search with pertinent job descriptions, and the recruiter or the applicant can use a matching algorithm to take many different factors into account, including hard skills, soft skills, job roles, industries, education, experience, cities, and more.
Using artificial intelligence, recruiters and job seekers can respond to each other more frequently. The largest issues recruiters and candidates are facing are barriers in communication and inefficient processes. We can address this issue by using artificial intelligence tools. AI can help streamline the hiring process by guiding candidates through the application process with real time responses, 24/7. In essence, AI will provide recruiters and job seekers with improved and more efficient processes.
On average, only 5 to 6 applicants are summoned for an interview out of the 300 applications that are typically submitted to a job posting. Recruiters can locate qualified prospects more rapidly with this type of AI-powered technology since the screening procedure looks for a certain keyword in a candidate’s resume. The data of candidates as well as their web presence can be analyzed by several cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems. This provides recruiters with a more thorough background on an applicant’s skills. Artificial intelligence-assisted screening will assist recruiters in choosing the most qualified applicant for the post.
