Trends Report vol. 7: Real AI – Sourcing, Engagement, & Selection from Red Branch Media on Vimeo.
From sourcing to selection, it’s clear that Artificial Intelligence is making its mark throughout the hiring process and beyond. This is why we took on the task of demystify AI in our latest Trends Report V7.
The report begins by defining what true AI is and what it isn’t. We dive into Machine Learning and how it’s being used in applications beneficial to recruiting, like Chatbots. Then we explore the next step, Deep Learning, where true AI really comes to life.
The ability to compare, analyze, create, and comprehend unstructured data is a game-changer for Talent Acquisition Technology. Explore this topic more with Brian Delle Donne of Talent Tech Labs in his section: Addressing Common Misconceptions to Cut Through the AI Noise.
Sourcing
Shon Burton from HiringSolved answers a question asked much too often: Why all the Buzz? Is AI a Passing Trend?

Selection
Geoff Harris from JabaTalks ventures into uncharted territory where he asks if AI selection tools are programmed by humans, how do we eliminate one of the most pervasive issues facing the workforce today… bias in the hiring process?
Fact: In a high volume setting, Hiring Managers are not capable of gathering, structuring, and analyzing large volumes of data. Attempting to do so invites a multitude of biases into your process including confirmation bias, interview fatigue, and stereotyping.Geoff Harris
