Artificial Intelligence: Recruitment’s New Business Partner

/in /by

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the buzz word in the world of human resources and recruitment. A simple google search will provide countless articles, blogs and emerging tools for AI. It is a trend HR and recruiting will continue to see integrated into the tool kits of the top recruiters and search firms. It is not a replacement of the recruiting process but an enhancement of the process.

AI will evolve and should be embraced and here is why:

  • AI innovation drives efficiencies throughout the recruiting process
  • Those efficiencies provide more time to focus on the candidate experience
  • AI helps quickly filter the skill set equation so great recruiters can focus on culture fit and the soft skills required for a company and role
  • Simply stated, AI should create more time for high touch quality conversations between recruiters, candidates and clients

AI is a tool to assist recruiters and hiring authorities in making better informed decisions sourcing candidates and providing more time to focus on the components of the job that no tool can identify, the human element. The human element takes time and is the key to making the best matches for a client aligning both skills, expertise and culture.
