It’s the rise of the robo-recruiters.
Employers are turning to artificial intelligence to screen potential new human hires.
AI recruiting software is increasingly subbing in for actual people during preliminary interviews — with a fake person quizzing candidates and inquiring about their skills, before delivering their findings to managers.
“A year ago this idea seemed insane,” Arsham Ghahramani, co-founder and chief executive officer of Toronto-based AI recruiting startup Ribbon, told Bloomberg. “Now it’s quite normalized.”
Companies say the goal is to ultimately make the interview process more efficient and accessible for candidates — without needing human recruiters to be online all day.
For employers, particularly those hiring at high volume, the switch can save hundreds of hours of manpower per week.
