I do not agree, though, that stepping back from AI screening would solve that,” said Charles Hipps, founder and chief executive of Oleeo, which develops AI-powered applicant tracking software.
“There is also a fairly outdated picture of AI screening behind some of this criticism, where an algorithm scans for a few words and rejects somebody without explanation.
“Good recruitment technology can look for evidence of skills, relevant experience and transferable capability, then show the recruiter why an applicant has been highlighted.
On remote interviews, Hipps drew a distinction with AI screening.
Recruiters need to get beyond polished wording and establish whether somebody can demonstrate the skills or potential required for the role.”
