Ways In Which Big Data And AI Automate Recruitment Bias Audits

At any given time, a job opening on LinkedIn receives over 250 applicants. Unilever gets around 1.8 million applications a year for measly 30K positions, and screening through a trove of data isn't child's play. It is where the company deploys AI and big data in HR to run a series of tests to trace behavioral traits and then a list of successful candidates is passed onto the human recruiters. Surprisingly, Unilever ends up hiring around 50% of those candidates. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has proven its mantle on countless occasions, making it a viable option in the recruitment process. However, both good and bad outcomes have been well-documented in the past.
