How AI Can and Will Affect the Recruiting Process (and How It Won't)

We hear a lot about AI's effect on jobs, but what about its effect on recruiters? This article explains how AI can improve life for recruiters as well as what AI can't and shouldn't do, writes Matt Fischer, president and CTO of Bullhorn. One popular image of artificial intelligence is that of robots taking over the world à la The Matrix or Westworld, but even the comparatively gentle image of AI-driven machines taking our jobs is overstated. AI is, however, poised to play a great role in transforming staffing and recruiting. According to our research at Bullhorn, more than half of recruiting industry professionals and executives professed at least some knowledge of AI technology, and it follows that they recognize how it might help them.
