AI Recruitment Failures: How to Avoid Screening Out Well-Suited Candidates?

AI is changing the way human resources teams recruit new employees. AI can automate many of the recruitment process steps, such as screening resumes and scheduling interviews. While AI can save HR professionals a great deal of time in their recruiting efforts, AI-driven resume parsers may be missing out on potential candidates who are well suited for the job position but don't include the specific keywords AI is looking for.

To understand how AI recruitment can fail at times, it's important to examine what a resume parser does and why it may be overlooking qualified candidates. A resume parser is a piece of software that scans resumes and extracts information from them into a database or spreadsheet. This allows an AI system to quickly scan through hundreds of resumes and surface only those that appear to match the job position. AI can then further narrow down the list by rating each resume based on certain criteria like education, work experience, etc.

Unfortunately, AI recruitment tools can fail if they lack context while searching for specific keywords. For example, a candidate may have all of the qualifications and experience needed for a job but AI may still reject their resume if the keyword isn't included. AI recruitment tools can also fail to identify resumes that are formatted differently than what it is programmed to recognize.

Understanding How Resume Screening Works

AI recruitment tools are becoming more and more popular, but the AI recruitment process must be adjusted to ensure that qualified candidates aren't overlooked. AI-driven resume screening tools should include context when searching for keywords and recognize resumes formatted in different ways. Additionally, AI is still no match for a human’s ability to read between the lines of a resume and identify candidates who may be a great fit for the job. AI recruitment is an excellent tool that can save HR professionals time and money, but it should not be used as a replacement for the human review of resumes.

Resume screening is the process of reviewing resumes to determine which candidates should be allowed to interview for a job. This process can be done manually by human resources professionals or it can be automated using an applicant tracking system (ATS).

An ATS is a software application that helps organizations manage their recruitment process. It can be used to post job ads, collect resumes, screen candidates, and schedule interviews. All resumes received through various sourcing channels are automatically forwarded to the ATS. The ATS then separates the data into candidate profiles that are simple to read, filter, and distribute.

What's Going Wrong?

One of the benefits of using an ATS is that it can save time by automatically screening resumes for specific keywords. For example, if a job requires experience with a certain software program, the ATS can be configured to only consider resumes that contain that keyword.

However, this process is not perfect and there are some drawbacks to using an ATS for resume screening. One issue is that well-suited candidates may be screened out if their resume doesn't contain the right keywords. Research shows that 40% of candidates don't have an applicant tracking system-compliant resume.

This can be a problem if the keywords are not well chosen or if the candidate's resume is not properly optimized for the ATS. As a result, well-suited candidates may be passed over for jobs that they would have been perfect for.

For example, imagine you are looking for a customer service representative who is also proficient in Spanish. You might configure your ATS to screen for resumes that contain the keywords "customer service" and "Spanish." However, this process would also screen out candidates who are customer service representatives but don't have the keyword "Spanish" in their resume.

How Hirize Does This Different?

At Hirize, AI recruitment is done differently. Our AI-driven resume parser not only looks for the keywords that you specify but also takes into account context when searching for them. This means that candidates who may have all of the qualifications and experience needed for a job can still be considered by our AI even if they don't use the exact keyword in their resume.

Furthermore, AI recruitment tools used at Hirize are also powered by natural language processing (NLP). This AI-based technology helps our AI understand the context of words and phrases in resumes. For example, if a resume contains the phrase “bilingual customer service experience” but doesn’t mention Spanish specifically, NLP would recognize that the candidate is proficient in Spanish.

In addition, AI recruitment tools used at Hirize are also compatible with different resume formats. This means that resumes which may not be compliant with an ATS can still be parsed and properly analyzed by our AI. As a result, no qualified candidates are overlooked due to formatting issues or missing keywords.

Hirize AI recruitment is designed to be more comprehensive and accurate than traditional AI-based screening systems, ensuring that well-suited candidates are not overlooked. Additionally, our AI understands how resumes can be formatted differently and can recognize these variations when scanning for keywords. With Hirize AI recruitment, you can rest assured that you are considering the most qualified candidates for every job.

Hirize is using the most powerful AI technology known as Deep Learning to power its tools.
