Role of AI to fight biases in the process of recruitment

Human involvement is crucial during the process of recruitment. Recruitment has always been a formal conversation between an interviewer and an interviewee. But traditional hiring has its boons and banes. A significant drawback is unwanted involuntary biases in the process of talent acquisition. All employers have some subjective principles that take away from making the process incorrigible, sometimes affecting the result.

AI is everywhere, even when it comes to recruitment. For instance, 44% use AI to filter the best candidates with the help of the internet, such as going through their social media profiles. At the same time, 84% say AI offers them a competitive edge. But there is something else that is gaining immense popularity in the world of HR and recruitment, and that is Interview Co-Pilot. Interview Co-pilot is a comprehensive recruitment platform changing how interviews are conducted. This platform offers a set of essential resources for interviewers, such as real-time feedback, recording and reviewing, structured interviews, and more.

Numerous features provide a multitude of benefits to the HR department, including AI interview tools like video interview software and AI-based screening questions. Using smart algorithms to analyze candidate answers helps make evaluations more objective and efficient. Simply put, it ensures a streamlined and fair assessment, offering valuable insights into candidate suitability.

Furthermore, the process of scheduling interviews can be completely automated so that HRs have more time to focus on what matters. Now, according to recent findings, 48% of managers have admitted to biases, so structured interview processes, standardized formats, and real-time feedback ensure that each candidate is evaluated on the same criteria.

Making interview-as-a-service a necessity, these recruitment platforms will completely transform the HR landscape in 2024. As it changes the way one recruits, providing access to a larger talent pool. Right now, 88% of companies across the globe use some form of AI technology in HR. There have been so many advancements in HR technology that it is hard to keep track. Another such development is one-way interviews – where candidates answer pre-set questions at their convenience. This approach is time-saving as it increases efficiency and promotes fair evaluations.

Additionally, one more benefit of integrating AI is automating the process of manually preparing questions for each candidate based on job descriptions; this not only saves time but ensures that each candidate is evaluated based on relevant and specific questions.

In a nutshell, 80% of HR leaders believe AI will “fundamentally change” the hiring process in the next few years. These innovative tools leverage advanced technologies to streamline the interview process, leading to more efficient, transparent, and enjoyable interactions for candidates.
