The Hiring Process Is a Pain--These 5 Companies Say A.I. Can Make It Better

Chicago-based A.I. platform VMock operates in two ways: It's both a recruiting platform and an upskilling platform. Its recruiting system is mostly focused on college students and entry-level workers: Candidates upload résumés to the platform and receive, through A.I. analysis, feedback on their résumés and LinkedIn profiles, as well as targeted job recommendations. Its upskilling platform is currently in use at more than 250 higher education institutions, and by Q2 of 2022 will be made available to companies to help train and potentially transfer existing employees. In the latter program, the process is similar: The A.I. platform analyzes résumés to get a better sense of the skills employees already have, and what areas they might be able to better develop.
