AI in the Hiring Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We already encounter AI in our daily lives via autocorrect features when typing text messages, emails, or documents; digital personal assistants, like Alexa or Siri; and crash detection software programs to keep us safe when we drive. In addition to these everyday, personal AI uses, instances of recruitment AI have increased significantly in recent years. A 2022 SHRM survey<\/a> of 1,688 human resources professionals found AI is most often used in recruitment and hiring (79%), learning and development (41%), and performance management (38%). During 2023, however, we witnessed a sharp rise in the use of AI tools for recruitment. In fact, the AI recruitment industry grew more than 64% from 2020 to 2023. By the end of 2030, the value of the recruitment industry is expected to reach $942.3 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 Types of Recruiting AI<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recruiting AI is relevant to all parties involved in the hiring process. For the jobseeker, AI is used to conduct job searches, including targeting jobs and companies, determine their career stories, compare transferable skills to open ideas for new roles, and update text for correspondence with hiring managers. And from the employer’s perspective, AI speeds up application processing, automates repetitive hiring tasks, such as preliminary candidate assessments, performs intelligent candidate matching based on keywords, and reduces decisions made under the influence of human hiring biases or unconscious prejudices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s more closely examine 10 types of recruiting AI commonly utilized during the hiring process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Applicant Tracking System (ATS)<\/strong>: An ATS is software used to digitally screen applicants<\/a> based on specific keywords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Recruitment Marketing<\/strong>: Job openings are advertised to candidates using audience criteria or target personas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Virtual Reality (VR)<\/strong>: VR can facilitate office tours or create work scenarios to evaluate candidate performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Skills Assessments<\/strong>: Gamified skills tests conducted via AI gauge applicant readiness, knowledge, and talent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Digital Interviews<\/strong>: AI can automate interview appointments, test candidates, and handle live or recorded sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Job Posting Aggregators<\/strong>: Aggregators function as jobseeker search engines to match applicants with jobs for their skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) Recruiting Systems<\/strong>: CRMs are a hub for candidate information and records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Onboarding Software<\/strong>: Companies can customize the offer and onboarding phase as well as keep hirees engaged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Chatbots<\/strong>: Chatbots screen and converse with candidates, answer questions, and give updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Facial Recognition<\/strong>: When used with debiasing training, this AI example scores candidate expressions to support HR decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
