Recruitment Efficiencies Already Flowing from AI and Automated Workflows Hunt Scanlon Media

April 11, 2018 – Companies are conducting fewer job interviews, but continue to see higher percentages of offers to candidates as well as hires, according to Jobvite's latest "Recruiting Benchmark Report." The percentage of interviews that resulted in offers grew from nearly 20 in 2016 to 28 in 2017. Offers-to-hires, meanwhile, went from 83 percent in 2016 to 90 percent last year. The jump in job offers represents the biggest increase in Jobvite's data for 2017, said the report. The San Matteo, CA-based software and recruiting company attributed the change to an increased use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, which spared recruiters from having to perform the more mundane, operational aspects of their jobs.
