Bots for better hires: How tech is able to assess a candidate / TOI / 25 Sept 2022

Extract :

Ø Increasingly, that job of application sourcing, screening and selection process is being done by technology. And technology is being trained to look at a candidate’s actual worth to an organization. Bandyopadhyay says the focus is on data-driven assessments, using AI and ML

Ø A machine is today able to ask a question to an applicant just as a person would. It could be about a certain incident, and how the candidate would respond to it.

Ø “ AI picks the behavioural cues from the answer “, Bandyopadhyay says

Ø Technology is today used in parsing resumes, in proctoring , in asking questions, conducting coding assessments, doing evaluations

Ø Bots and application tracking systems then use a parsing mechanism to create shortlists. Then comes tech-enabled assessments for shortlisted candidates

Ø Chatbot enabled assessments are often used in early stages. Here, a bot asks the first set of questions to help make the selection funnel narrower

Ø The use of technology , she says, has brought down the hiring process from 30 days to 4 – 5 days, and for that reason , these tools are gaining popularity in India, where many companies are doing large scale hiring
