Artificial intelligence functioning

First, it’s necessary to understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) works. In a clear and objective way, it can be divided into three parts:

  • database: an information set that will support the forecasts and findings of the system;
  • algorithms: “agents” that will take into account the data stored in the system so that, using them as support, they can opt for the best decisions;
  • interface: the part in which the interaction occurs, which technology captures the requests and acts according to the default settings.

Virtual assistants’ performance in selective processes

Now that you already know what the AI consists of, let’s go to virtual assistants in the selection process. One way to get them involved in recruiting and selecting candidates is by having them work in an advisory capacity.

In other words, make predictions and prerequisites for the system to analyze them and can provide advice and suggestions for the participants choice. That simple.

To illustrate it, take as an example LinkedIn, the corporate social network used by many of the largest companies in the world. In this case, chatbot can be used to read and identify the respondents’ experiences and qualities, ie their professional resume.

Another way is to use recruiting chatbots to ask and answer questions, replacing human work and streamlining processes. The most interesting thing here is that the dialogue will occur in a personalized way to the candidate, attending to the demand of this possible new collaborator according to his own peculiarities.

  • scalability: due to automation, the selection processes may be available on the web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week;
