[Economist] AI Streamlines The Talent Management Process

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resources might sound counterintuitive after all the leading word in Human Resources is Human. However, many companies are seeing the positive impact of integrating AI into the recruitment process. For example, Johnson & Johnson receives 1.2 million applications for 25,000 positions every year. AI can narrow down the search by scanning through applications quickly and efficiently for talent acquisition specialists.

By taking humans out of the process in early stages, can also be beneficial for creating a more diverse workplace. Algorithmic recruiting is an unbiased screen ensuring the hiring process is fair. Pymetrics who’s client base includes Unilever and Nielsen offers a set of games for candidates to complete, typically at the early stage of recruitment ignoring factors like gender, age and race.
