03. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN RECRUITMENT

 


Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence is the ability of a computer or a robot controlled by a computer to do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and discernment.

Artificial Intelligence term was coined by John McCarthy (1950) soon after when he published a paper entitled “Computing Machinery and intelligence” and this paper lead to open the doors to the filed termed as AI. Organizations develop and sustain by innovating new ideas to compete in the digital era.

Father of AI, John McCarthy described AI as, “Artificial Intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”.

Artificial Intelligence works as similar as human intelligence like to learn, to adapt, to identify and to correct. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956, defines it as “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines”. It is a computer enabled system say a Robotic system that is designed to process information to provide outcomes in the way similar as manpower in the organization do using their ability to learn, taking decisions and sorting out problems. AI is the science of mimicking human intelligence using computers.

    This is an Interesting article. Reading it I wondered, the possibility of applying AI recruiting to Sri Lankan Industries. Currently a candidate requires references, character certificates and police reports from most industries, ie: banking, which are not online and real-time yet. However If someone is already employed Majority of the professionals use social media platforms like LinkdIn. Therefore I believe Sri Lankan Industries will also advance to this system.

    Interesting Article Chanika,
    HR staff in companies needs to select the right people from a big pool of applicants. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, the whole process can be divided into several stages, automatically. Recruiters can collect more data on each candidate and so evaluate candidates more effectively. There are many AI-based solutions that help assess the skills and experience of candidates using special algorithms. those processes will be much confirmable to recruiting people to organisations in future.

    Using AI to narrow a candidate pool or provide valuable data about a certain candidate group can add significant value and efficiency to recruiting. But I think the recruiter is able to introduce more quality job fitted candidates to the process than using AI, because AI will only help to find out paper qualified one not a practical one. However, the information AI can provide in seconds, than using human it takes much time, thereby becoming less efficient. The addition of data scientists and data analysts to the recruiting team may be the next step in the evolution of talent acquisition.
