Automation: Supercharging Your HR with Artificial Intelligence

According to HR tech expert Soumyasanto Sen, there are three distinct phases on your HR team's journey towards applying AI: automation, augmentation and amplification. Within my area of expertise, talent acquisition, I'd like to focus on the all-important first step. Automation provides the most opportunity for HR and talent acquisition teams today since the technology is easier to implement than machine learning or full AI. You can tell matching tools what you're looking for and they will then report back almost instantly, with a list of candidates who precisely match that criteria. Smarter tools like HireTual and Pocket Recruiter may interpret what you've requested and use machine learning to suggest candidates, based on synonyms and other intelligent search criteria they have learned over time For example, if you already have a large candidate database of software engineers, Candidate.ID will allow you to automatically rank them according to their real-time interest in your organisation.
