Does artificial intelligence help recruiters to find the best candidates, quickly?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to change the way the recruitment industry and organizations search for and acquire talent, according to recruiting experts Hays. Automated technology can analyze the mountains of data that exist within an organization and the wider job market, translating it into easily digestible formats. According to Alistair Cox, CEO of Hays, this will help humans make better recruitment decisions. "One simple job ad can elicit tens of thousands of responses, many of which may be wholly inappropriate applications, yet all must be screened in order to find the real stars," says Cox. With the aid of AI, time consuming areas of recruitment, such as CV screening, drafting job descriptions and communicating with candidates, could instead take seconds.
