Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving and transforming various industries, and the startup world is no exception. Early-stage startups can benefit from AI in a number of ways, including hiring the best talent, but we need to ask the right questions, otherwise it won't help us improve.
One way AI can help startups hire is by automating the recruiting process through feeding it with the right information. This can free up time and resources for other tasks, such as developing products or services.
Here are some ideas on how AI can be used in the vetting process:
I do issue a word of caution when looking into using AI to solve these problems. People still want to talk to a person. If the Metaverse and pandemic showed us anything, while tech can help solve problems and make lives easier, people badly miss connection. The other day I saw a post about 20 AI tools to help a person get a job. While I was a career coach, I had admin work and repetitive tasks, but what made me special and helpful to my clients was the human touch I brought to all my sessions. Also it is what made me successful in getting all my clients I started with hired.
As you can see, AI is extremely helpful and as companies look to replace repetitive tasks with AI don’t forget that people are still people. When you hire someone, when you look to onboard someone, or are just trying to find someone. As much as AI will help expedite the process show your humanness to your recruitment services and hiring process.
