Scientists are able to use AI, for example, to analyze volumes upon volumes of data within hours (or even minutes), creating efficiency in their research. Perhaps you may have already heard of Google\u2019s foray into neural networks, or the first robot citizen Sophia too\u2014but AI doesn\u2019t need to be as complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beebom.com\/examples-of-artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thanks to today\u2019s consumer gadgets<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, artificial intelligence is within our reach: virtual assistants that power your phone\u2014from Siri to Google Now\u2014recognize your speech and learn from your requests; computerized opponents on video games analyze your behavior in order to survive, and even automated fraud detection for credit card owners is making security smarter than ever for the typical shopper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here at Kalibrr, the AI that we built operates by executing similar activities. Put simply, our AI engineers were able to train the AI powering our new service (KalibrrPro) so that we find the best candidates for every job post on our platform within a few clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This training helps our AI perform key tasks:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It <\/span><b>reads and understands<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the text in job posts <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> resumes, then translates them into data points.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These data points are then <\/span><b>analyzed and matched<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for relevance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After which the AI <\/span><b>ranks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> these matches and <\/span><b>presents<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> them to a recruiter for curation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a recruiter accepts\/rejects matches, the AI <\/span><b>learns<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from this feedback and <\/span><b>incorporates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> it for the next time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We built our AI in this manner in order to address large pain points in the traditional recruitment process. Here are a few more benefits that AI yields for the recruitment sector in general:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Saving_time_for_recruiters\"><\/span><strong>1. Saving time for recruiters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As every recruiter knows, taking the time out to just filter candidate profiles eats up so much of your workday. Not only do you have to manually filter them one by one, but you also have to assess them, contact them for interviews, and so on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on our research, the industry average is at 4 hours per day just performing this scouring process. Across multiple AI-driven platforms (including ours), this time is shaved down to a matter of seconds. And once these manual tasks are automated, it helps recruiters save time so they can use it to build quality relationships and better connections instead. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Leveling_up_your_pool_of_candidates\"><\/span><b>2. Leveling up your pool of candidates<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12934\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Hiring-The-Right-Freelancer-For-Your-Business-300x187.png\" alt=\"Hiring-The-Right-Freelancer-For-Your-Business\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Hiring-The-Right-Freelancer-For-Your-Business-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Hiring-The-Right-Freelancer-For-Your-Business.png 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The edge of AI technology over manual database mining is its ability to learn: not only can it use a complex amount of data points as a reference to qualify the perfect candidate, but it also learns from the human input so it can recommend a more tailor-fit set of talent the next time around. Instead of recruiters simply inputting keywords in a database to search for profiles, AI technology aids them in this search as it learns from human inquiry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/bernardmarr\/2016\/12\/06\/what-is-the-difference-between-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning\/2\/#d3ae545483d8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the words<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of Forbes contributing writer Bernard Marr (with the context of using AI at work): \u201cwe should really just be able to give machines access to data and let them learn for themselves.\u201d When these technological tools act as a second decision-maker in your curation of candidates, it helps increase the overall quality of your candidate pool because it does the thinking for you\u2014giving you a richer pool of talent that you may otherwise have not produced alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Reduce_Bias\"><\/span>3. Reduce Bias<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Given the artificial nature of a computer simply solving a complex cognitive problem in finding the right candidate, AI technology helps produce a more diverse and equalized set of candidates for the recruiter to choose from that doesn\u2019t incorporate unconscious bias.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All human recruiters, like it or not, will have some form of implicit partiality when making decisions. With the help of an impartial, additional decision-maker like a smart machine, the chances of this bias affecting the recruiting process <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ideal.com\/unconscious-bias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">are greatly reduced<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Changing_Times\"><\/span><b>The Changing Times<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re confident that AI can only get better from here. Whether we\u2019re looking at predictive analytics or increasing our capacity to service more clients, we at Kalibrr are always excited for what lies ahead. Stay tuned for the future of our AI technology\u2014and how it can transform your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><i>Interested in Kalibrr Pro?
