AI is transforming the recruitment landscape across the globe, making processes such as resume screening and candidate engagement more efficient by:

  • using keyword searches to automatically rank and eliminate candidates from a pool of applicants with minimal human oversight;
  • performing recruitment tasks via chatbots that interact with candidates;
  • formulating skills and aptitude tests; and
  • analyzing video interviews to assess a candidate’s suitability for a particular position.

In addition to maximizing efficiency, AI may also be used to make automated, substantive decisions related to recruitment, hiring, and performance through the use of predictive analytics that forecast a candidate’s success in a specific role.
