The Role of AI and Machine Learning in Recruitment

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning over the years have gained momentum because they bring several changes and improvements in the process of recruitment. Automating these technologies and enhancing them at different stages of recruitment enable human resources professionals to identify, attract, and retain talent effectively.

📝Key Concepts and Theories

Talent Acquisition Model: It's a strategic approach whereby the HRM factors in recruitment into the overall goals and needs of the organization. It supports Fit over Fill: It enables the finding of talent which best suits the company's mission, culture, and long-term objectives rather than filling vacancies. This model works much better with the integration of AI tools. AI can automate the initial identification and screening process, freeing the HR teams to focus on candidates who possess the requisite skills but also share the core values and objectives of the organization. For example, AI algorithms analyse a job description and traits of organizational culture to spot those candidates whose overall profile and experiences best match the set of desirable attributes. The process not only speeds up recruitment but also helps ensure a good match between recruited employees and the goals of the company.

Predictive Analytics : Recruitment predictive analytics uses data and statistical algorithms to project a candidate's potential for success in a given role. It is, therefore, data-driven. Analysing past recruitment data, candidate profiles, performance records, and job success rates, predictive models can determine a set of tendencies, attributes, and competencies most indicative of high performance within those roles.

In this respect, predictive analytics means that HR teams can make far better decisions about who to hire. For instance, if data shows that employees with the right mix of skill sets and career background are likely to succeed in a certain role, then AI tools will flag candidates with similar profiles as potentially strong hires. Predictive analytics can even mean forecasting retention, job satisfaction, and productivity, giving the HR teams insight into long-term candidate fit and likely tenure.

📝Current Trends and Practices

Resume Screening: AI tools can efficiently analyse resumes to identify keywords and relevant experience, hence saving time spent in manual screening.

Chatbots: Most organizations provide AI-based chatbots to interact with applicants right from the start of an application and answer questions and provide live updates.

Candidate Matching: There may be a use of ML algorithms to match candidate profiles and job descriptions in increasing the match quality on historical hiring data.




Unilever:
Unilever uses AI in recruitment through a code that analyses video interviews under the programme assessing the suitability of the candidate based on responses to

facial expressions. This has led to shorter time-to-hire and greater diversity in candidate selection.





IBM : IBM Watson Recruitment is using AI to analyse huge amounts of data on job postings and applicant profiles to help recruiters find the best candidates with the highest chance of success in specific roles.
