The Rise of AI in Recruitment

AI technology has increasingly become a part of the hiring process, with many companies adopting automated systems to screen resumes and conduct interviews. The use of AI offers recruitment efficiency, particularly for businesses facing a high volume of applications, as it can quickly sort through candidates based on specific criteria. However, such systems are often criticized for lacking effectiveness and potential biases, as many qualified candidates may get overlooked due to algorithmic limitations. Interviews from industry experts illustrate that while AI aims to streamline hiring, it may inadvertently perpetuate discrimination found in existing datasets.
