Evolutions in Recruitment: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence

This IDC Perspective highlights the evolving landscape of recruitment within organizations as they leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance their hiring processes. Artificial intelligence is transforming recruiting. AI-powered tools are automating administrative tasks like job advertising, screening, and scheduling, freeing up recruiters to focus on high-value activities. Intelligent algorithms deliver short lists of qualified candidates from various data sets. Chatbots are open for candidates 24 x 7. Video analytics assess candidates' skills and traits. Predictive analytics for hiring candidates are forecasting hiring needs and success rates."AI holds immense potential to transform recruiting but only if used judiciously. As adoption accelerates, we must remain vigilant that these tools are designed and monitored to mitigate biases, not exacerbate them. My advice is to selectively apply AI and to augment recruiters' capabilities, not automate away human judgment. The future of recruiting must have people at its core," says Alicia Mokwa, research director, Talent Acquisition and Strategy at IDC.
