Matching People and Jobs with Artificial Intelligence

Will recruiting be 100 per cent spot on in placing candidates with AI or, lose the much needed (soft) human touch required in challenging placements?

If you’re looking for a new Human Capital Management software or on a job search for the past year, chances are, you’d have encountered Artificial Intelligence (A.I). Is the future of recruitment in the cool hands of the machine?

How far has A.I infiltrated the recruitment process over the years?

As a job seeker, if you applied to tech giants like Amazon, Google or Uber, your submitted resume has been parsed by their machine-learning program. Algorithms have been designed to select resumes that meet the criteria for a best-fit candidate.

Of the late, talent acquisition chatbots have been implemented by the likes of MNCs like T Mobile, PepsiCo and L’Oréal to engage with a high volume of job applications. There’s even a company – Hirevue, whose products go to the extent of analysing body language and voice through video interview as a pre-hire assessment tool.

A.I is here to stay as a new efficient standard of hiring. Will it be effective or inefficacious?

Find out from the product experts at SEEK (JobsDB and JobStreet), Asia’s largest jobs platforms as they take you through your concerns and curiosities of how A.I matches people with jobs.
