How AI Is Helping Recruiters Find Talent

Recruiting has always been a fundamentally human process, whether it involves one person reviewing an applicant's resume or a candidate participating in a full day of final round interviews. However, that might be changing with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) human resource software, which can help with everything from scheduling interviews to conducting reference checks. With an unemployment rate of only 5.2% in August, recruiters need all the help they can get in today's hyper competitive job market. While it was a recruiter's market this time last year, now that the economy is recovering job candidates have more opportunities than ever, and that gives them the freedom to be picky. "There are 300,000 recruiter job openings listed, with millions of job postings. Who is going to help do the high volume hire processing?" says Bennett Sung, the head of marketing at Humanly.io.
