Human Resources departments are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) tools to improve communications, streamline processes, and enhance recruitment marketing efforts. From screening resumes to conducting video interviews, AI is transforming HR practices. Here are some of the most effective advantages of embracing this new technology into your hiring process:

Screening & Evaluation

One key area where AI is making an impact is within the screening and evaluation of candidates. Rather than manually reviewing hundreds of resumes per open position, recruiters and HR personnel alike can use algorithms to rapidly parse applicant qualifications and experience. The technology can instantly check for required skills, education, past roles and other criteria to filter potential fits from the applicant pool.

Auto-Generated Communications

Chatbots are also being used to automate initial candidate communications and screening. Instead of generic auto-reply emails, AI now allows recruiters to curate a personalized and conversational interaction with a potential candidate while collecting vital background information. They can answer common questions, explain the interview process, and even schedule meetings. This creates a positive experience for candidates right from the start, and makes for a more efficient and streamlined process that can keep up with the high volume of applicants.

Unbiased Sourcing

AI plays a crucial role in HR communications and hiring processes by enhancing objectivity, promoting diversity, and reducing biases, leading to a fairer and more inclusive recruitment environment. Even if these human biases are subconscious, AI algorithms ensure resumes can be analyzed without being influenced by gender, ethnicity, or other demographic factors, only focusing on skills, qualifications, and relevant experience ultimately fostering a diverse and talented workforce.

The Importance of Human Touch

Although AI tools are proving to be invaluable in the recruitment processes for processing data and automating tasks, the human touch remains essential in the process. AI lacks the nuanced understanding of your company’s brand, empathy, and ethical judgment that humans bring to complex situations. AI should be used as a supporting tool to help HR and recruiting teams work smarter and faster – while letting them focus on the human-centered aspects of hiring like workplace culture, employee relations and onboarding. New technology mixed with a skilled team of humans will allow organizations to thrive in the age of automation.
