Earlier this year, researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) found that AI is as good or better than human bosses at hiring people.
They conducted a review of previous studies evaluating the effectiveness of AI as a recruitment tool.
Although the AI had limited ability to predict employees’ outcomes after they were hired, the AI is “fairer” and represents a major improvement over humans, they revealed.
AI also boosts the “fill rate” for job vacancies and is “most of the time better than humans” when it comes to improving diversity in the workplace.
Fill rate refers to how many positions a company has filled in a given period compared to the number of open positions waiting to be filled.
AI can be used in recruitment in a number of ways such as: B. Searching hundreds of resumes for a specific combination of keywords to narrow down applicants to those with the most relevant experience.
Another example is using chatbots to conduct a preliminary interview with a candidate before he or she can meet their potential human employer.
