How can AI help in recruitment?

The Short Answer

In recruitment, AI assists with screening and matching: reading in resumes, matching candidates from the talent pool with a search order, preparing anonymous profiles for clients, and reminding about deletion deadlines. Who you present to a client is always decided by a human.

Read in Resumes and Maintain the Talent Pool

Resumes arrive as PDF or Word files. AI reads contact details, experience, skills, and availability, then populates the candidate profile. Anyone remaining in the talent pool requires consent, followed by a deadline after which data must be deleted.

Matching with the Search Order

For a search order, AI suggests suitable candidates with justification and a score. This is fair when the evaluation is based on an anonymized profile and a human reviews every recommendation. The EU AI Act classifies AI for personnel selection as a high-risk application, with specific obligations for human oversight.

From Profile to Placement

The path to the client:

  • Search order with placement contract for signature via link.
  • Anonymous profile for the client, with feedback via click.
  • Interview scheduling via booking pages.
  • After placement: Fee invoice and reminder of the end of the warranty period.
