Robots Come To Job Search: AI-Powered Head Hunters Disrupt Recruitment Industry

#artificialintelligence

The efficiency of the recruitment industry is set by the ability of employers and agents to match candidates to vacancies. With a typical hire taking up to six weeks and costing upwards of $4,000, more accurate matching can clearly lead to reduced waste of time and resources, and an impact on a business's bottom line. One of the inspirations behind Helena – an "AI head hunter" created by recruitment platform Woo – is the recommendation engines developed by online retailers like Amazon. Impressively, according to Woo CEO and founder LiranKotzer, early results show that employers are accepting for interview 52% of candidates put forward by Helena. This compares very favorably to performance of human recruitment agents, where the average figure is around 20%, and far better than relying on respondents to postings on job boards – where just 2.5% of applicants will be suitable for interview.

That's in part because the majority of consumers use smartphones as their primary device for checking email.
