What’s Next for AI Recruiting?

Over the last few years, the growing presence of AI in recruiting has been hotly debated. Almost everyone in the talent acquisition space has an opinion on the technology, its seemingly rapid development, and what AI might do for candidates and employers alike.

Then, COVID-19 showed up. The hiring landscape changed overnight. Now, as businesses begin to reopen, many are wondering how recruiting will function on the other side of the pandemic – and where AI will factor into the process.

In Conversation with Benjamin Gillman of myInterview

Benjamin Gillman, co-founder of myInterview, is taking a pragmatic stance. Explaining the technology’s use thus far, “We typically see AI used at the top of the recruitment funnel, because this is the point when the quantity of data can be overwhelming. The role of the tools is to gather and distill candidate information against the job description to surface the most appropriate talent.” 

Here, Gillman’s thinking echoes much of what was said and written about pre-COVID-19. The application of AI near the top of the funnel leads to increased efficiency and time savings for recruiters. Able to spend less energy on administrative tasks and more on building relationships with candidates. A logical rationale based on where the world was coming into 2020. But what about now?
