All industries are trying to benefit from each and every possibility of artificial
intelligence. So why should the HR Departments stand aside? Needless to say, AI can play a
vital role in hiring personnel. Recruiting the right talents and retaining them for a long period become challenging for many
organisations at times. So they find solace in AI since it has few benefits. But there are
challenges as well. Let’s look into both.
Screening made simple
Suppose that you have 8 vacancies. But the total number of applications received is
125. Here someone should spend quite a long time only to verify, filter and list the eligible
candidates. Really a tiring task, Isn’t it? AI is a true support in this context.
The technology can easily filter and list the candidates in the relevant order based on their
qualifications. Obviously it helps you save a lot of time that too in an efficient and flawless
manner. Now the HR Team is free to focus on other much significant areas of hiring.
Reliable Assessment
Usually an interview panel consists of two or more experts. Naturally their assessment or
perception of candidates will be taken into consideration while hiring. Then they reach
unanimous decision. Sometimes such decisions may go wrong. But with artificial
intelligence, the possibility of making the process more perfect is enhanced. For instance, AI
can evaluate one’s suitability for a particular role even by scrutinizing the way someone
speaks or responds to certain questions. In addition to this, AI doesn’t reach conclusions
through intuitions but data. So its recommendations are more dependable. Eventually the
most ideal candidates are hired.
Candidate’s joy
Applying for a job is stressful for some candidates due to various reasons. AI makes the
interview process a relaxed affair for such applicants. And a relaxed state of mind brings out
the best of them. Their queries are properly answered and adequate guidance is given by AI.
The technology evaluates skills and capabilities of each applicant. Definitely the style adds
to the brand image of the organisation since it mirrors commitment.
Ethics and fundamental values
The primary objective of using AI in hiring is to ensure unbiased decisions. The organisation
has all rights to hire only the right candidate or candidates. Meanwhile, all candidates have
the right to enjoy an opportunity to express their relevant skills and talents. So the entire
process must be inclusive in nature. Let artificial intelligence enhance human thoughts and intelligence!
