A growing number of companies today are turning to AI to help them make decisions about who to hire, give a bonus to, and even let go from a company altogether.
One Russian startup created artificial intelligence software known as Robot Vera, to help them decide who to hire for employment contracts with companies such as Ikea, PepsiCo, and L'Oreal.
In only 9 hours, it's estimated that it can interview at least 1,500 candidates.
With the help of this software, HR staff are able to remain engaged in other important tasks; supporting management team members, providing training, conducting assessments, and more.
Would you want to be interviewed by a robot or a human?
Employers have suggested that they are seeing the same success rate with Vera, from doing cold calls, that they would have seen if humans were the ones conducting the calls. And Vera can make thousands of calls at one time, completing those calls much quicker.
There are now said to be hundreds of companies in Russia that have started using this sort of technology to help them decide who to hire and fire etc. As well, the software has also allegedly been tested in places like Dubai and Singapore.
Whether it's conducting phone interviews, making cold calls, analyzing video interviews, sifting through resumes, the technology is able to save recruitment managers time in a variety of ways.
Also, the Russian startup isn't the only agency that has sought to use artificial intelligence as a part of their recruitment process and it's likely to become much more prevalent in the near future if a growing number of employers find that it provides them with any benefit.

Employers Turning To AI For Hiring, Firing, And More

I think robots in business is a good idea but not in taking over jobs itself , human labor is the best in day to day activities as well
How can this possibly go wrong?
I usually link these posts to @evileddy and he says, "See?!? I told you!" as he has been insistent that computers will take over everyone's job. He also refuses to call it AI if it cannot become sentient and self-aware. Just a learning algorithm.
I suppose some of the sheer numbers initial tasks can be automated and have the final results vetted by a qualified human but wonder what the experience would be like and whether the real allstars would join a company if the leaders didn't even take the time to get involved personally?
Interesting.
i am preffer to human for interview, because diffrent peoples contain diffrient abilities.
Human find these abilities, but a robot cannot find it. Robot preffer on only questioning, that save in his memory. But human contain natural abilities.
So this cause, i preffer the human interview.
very nice post, Thanks for sharing and i hope you will share more posts like this in future.
Thanks for your useful post.
Very elegant way to present you, The truth is in all your words.
It is possible to get many useful examples from your writing. well done and keep it up.
The problem here isn't that the expert system isn't capable of weeding through statistics, it is that people are trained not to judge. And, if you can't judge, then you can't make good calls about business interactions.
Long ago IQ tests were outlawed from hiring practices.
And IQ is the single best indicator about how well someone will do.
Soooo, you get a computer to give a questionaire that measures general IQ levels and attributes on the big 5.
And, all of this is inside a black box. It is a computer program. It doesn't have biases, so it won't play favorites. And thus, it gets around the legalities when hiring. Humans could do this just fine, if they weren't hamstrung by legal issues.
So, if Pepsi wanted bottling line workers, they want people with an IQ between 85 and 100 who are high in conscientiousness. Any person fitting that criteria will do well in those positions. Too high of IQ and the person would be board. Too low and they aren't trainable. Too low in conscientiousness and they wont be attentive to the process.
The computer does what the person cannot.
It is a sad world we live in.
I had only one interview in my life and I will never do it again, so for me, it doesn't matter! Thanks for the news!
Wow! I didn't know that in my country came up with this. Although, I think this may help some people who are too nervous before the interview. It would be easier for me to communicate with a robot that does not evaluate my appearance, does not experience subjectivity, but really evaluates my business qualities. I think this is a good trend.
business is man power on heir life development one chance the technology business is very turning point of the man
i like & love on your post
I'm not against technology, I'm not against technology, I'm more comfortable with its comforts, but I doubt if I'm comfortable being interviewed by a robot, people may be able to perceive something more in the live interview, but if this is very less expensive, surely many companies will adopt it.
Based on what I know about robots, which is mostly from Philip K Dick's writings, it seems like they will eventually go crazy and murder you. Therefore, I think I prefer to be interviewed by humans.
For a long time I conducted interviews for the incorporation of people to the companies that belonged, it is a very tedious job, a lot of time is lost in the selection of the personnel, it seems acceptable to me that the incorporation interviews are of the robots, as long as the permanence evaluation this is the responsibility of the area managers.
The progress of the technology is incredible, thank you very much dear friend @doitvoluntarily for sharing this news
While I need to delve deeper into this issue. I quite frankly find this problematic. Talking to a robot will make the workplace even more artificial than it already is. I agree that cost-cutting is always at the forefront of any corporation's goal, but at least keep the human element in it. But, let's see how it goes.
The technological advance of mass will come the role of human will be replaced by robot which is faster than human power but its weakness also robot do not have feeling like human, thanks to have share
seems pretty strange that humans are judged by robots. Although artifical intelligence did wonders in modern days but robot can't judge the human intelligence and emotions in a way it should be judged so in my 2 cent opinion it is a bad move but who cares and think for the needy people.
Interesting article. The immediate thought I had was that Robots should be easier to understand, and that must be a plus. So many humans either mumble or are unclear. It should save time too as you wouldn't need to keep asking Robots to repeat themselves.
