The use of artificial intelligence has increased productivity and efficiency in the workplace in nearly every industry. As such, a number of companies have turned to AI to improve their recruiting process—a task that once required hours of sorting through resumes, calling applicants and scheduling interviews to find the perfect candidate.
Despite these advancements, not all companies are aware of the massive benefits that a more automated recruiting process can offer. Below, a panel of Forbes Coaches Council members share ways AI can improve recruiting and the overall hiring process.
1. It Streamlines The Recruiting Process
AI can make recruiting a seamless, smooth action. It can expedite the recruiters’ communications through automated interview confirmation emails, so they have time to actually build relationships with the candidates. This can help them save time and fill positions more quickly. It can also screen and rank candidates faster as well as decrease bias, though it really depends on how it has been programmed and by whom. - Sahar Andrade, MB.BCh, Sahar Consulting, LLC
2. It Can Screen For Suitable Talents
