The integration of AI in various industries has sparked a wave of transformation and modernisation. One of those industries is the recruitment industry, which has got a new direction in the presence of AI.
AI has increased the efficiency and accuracy of various steps in recruitment. The sourcing has become better as AI-powered algorithms scour the internet, job boards, and social media platforms to identify potential candidates. Similarly, the natural language processing (NLP) algorithms analyse resumes and cover letters to match candidates with job requirements. This minimises bias and ensures that candidates are evaluated solely on their qualifications. Not only candidate sourcing has been impacted by AI, but also the interview process is now assisted by AI, such as conducting preliminary screening of candidates, utilising facial and speech recognition to analyse responses and gestures of candidates, providing insights into their communication skills and personality traits.
In conclusion, the impact of AI will continue to rise as it holds immense potential. However, it's crucial to strike a balance between automation and the human touch in order to avoid heavy reliance on automation.
