Most hiring managers aren’t experts in hiring, and that’s okay. But it does lead to some common challenges. As our Helping Hiring Managers Succeed report outlines, they often have unrealistic expectations and focus more on what they think they need rather than on what’s truly best for their team. Plus, managers are often stretched too thin or don’t have the relationship skills required to create great experiences for candidates and new hires.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how organizations deliver products and services, manage customer experiences and orchestrate operations.

Early versions (1990s) of AI in applicant tracking systems (ATS) were used in keyword matching to help recruiters sift through large volumes of applications. As computational processing power improved exponentially one decade later, machine learning algorithms and natural language processing led to predictive analytics for candidate assessment and sentiment analysis, enabling recruiters to gain deeper insights into candidates’ personalities and cultural fits.
