Jobvite acquires AI, data science team to accelerate recruiting

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the adoption of recruiting technology is speeding up, according to experts. Some companies that weren't already using tools like job simulations, virtual assessments and video interviews implemented them when shifting to telework due to shelter-in-place orders. "A lot of the work that recruiters have been doing historically wasn't actually interviewing people," Kevin Parker, CEO of HireVue told HR Dive in a recent interview. "It was trying to schedule people, doing follow up phone calls, phone screens and things like that. When you can automate a lot of that process, the recruiter can really focus on people that are most qualified for the position."
