It might be time to let the computers take over.

In a labor shortage, artificial intelligence may be a useful tool for businesses that need to fill open positions, fast, in part by opening the recruiting net wider. Admittedly, A.I. technology has known pitfalls. In 2018, for instance, Amazon made headlines when its A.I.-powered hiring algorithm was revealed to prioritize male candidates. But, as the technology has evolved, new companies have found ways that A.I. can actually improve diversity and inclusion in hiring, all the while getting candidates in the door faster than manual methods.
The key: A.I. is not meant to fully automate the hiring process, and most companies that use it stress the importance of pairing high tech with a more human interview process. When used strategically, A.I. recruiting tools have the potential to make hiring less of a pain point--and these companies may help you more quickly fill your open roles.
