Job-seeking practices date back to the Stone Age when people did not “hunt for jobs” in the modern sense, but their daily activities, particularly hunting and gathering, made their lifestyle equivalent to a modern employee. In a contemporary job hunt scenario, individuals sit back and click “Apply” on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor and every other professional networking site possible to secure an interview and get chosen for the necessary role. The process of filtering jobs based on your region, job mode, pay, and job role is itself a cumbersome job that leaves you with a feeling of demotivation and burnout.  

You can use AI to assign work. But can you use AI to find work? In recent years, Artificial Intelligence has given a new shape to job searches, making the whole system more efficient. By streamlining the process of agencies joining candidates with job opportunities, AI has given a new identity to recruiting solutions.   

Let us explore how AI has evolved from a futuristic idea to a day-to-day productivity tool.  

Personalized Job recommendations  

If you are looking for a data-related job, you must have noticed that the job searching sites will provide you with updates related to data-specific employment, even when you have not applied any filter. This is because AI uses advanced techniques like Machine Learning, Collaborative Filtering, Behavioral Analytics and Deep learning to match your job profile with relevant job openings. The improved job matching works exceptionally well for job recruiters and seekers, as they match candidates with job openings based on their skills, work experience and preferences.  

Talent Sourcing  

Sometimes, there are candidates on platforms like LinkedIn, who fit the requirements of a job perfectly, but they do not actively apply to new openings. Job recruiting agencies use candidate sourcing to attract and engage these potential candidates for a job opening before they apply.  

The modern candidate sourcing process involves:  

Automated Candidate Identification: AI-powered tools scan large amounts of data across various platforms to identify potential candidates who match specific job criteria.  

Resume Screening: Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML), AI algorithms can extract information about candidates’ skills, experience, education and certifications and rank them based on their potential.  

Predictive Analysis: Using predictive analysis, recruiting agencies make data-driven decisions to ensure they approach only candidates who are likely to succeed in a particular role.  

Bias Reduction  

One of the biggest challenges during the hiring process is fighting bias. Managers or recruiters often treat their favored candidates differently than others. This leaves other candidates with a feeling of under confidence and demotivation. AI recruiting solutions reduce these biases by selecting candidates purely on the basis of talent to produce just decisions.  

Chatbots and Virtual Assistants  

Automated responses by chatbots and virtual assistants speed up the job recruitment process through computerized responses. They interact with candidates and update them on their application status, thereby smoothing the job-seeking experience.
