In the near future, up to 40% of corporate recruiters may be relying on artificial intelligence (AI) to conduct job interviews. This new method raises many questions about the future of the recruitment process and how AI could impact job seekers. According to a survey carried out by Resume Builder, AI chatbots could be conducting almost half of job interviews by 2024. Additionally, estimates suggest that approximately 15% of recruiters will rely entirely on AI for all of their hiring decisions.
The survey also found that 46% of job hunters are using ChatGPT for creating resumes and cover letters. Furthermore, a staggering 78% of these job seekers have discovered an increase in the level of responses from companies, even securing job interviews, when they used AI. However, candidates may be uneasy about their future employment prospects if AI entirely replaces human recruiters.
Although the use of AI could provide a useful and streamlined elimination process, relying on it entirely for hiring decisions could be a recipe for disaster. It may lead candidates to rethink their approach when being interviewed by AI and instead focus on using specific keywords or phrases rather than being natural. This may lead to a less relaxed and possibly a less successful interview overall.
Regardless, job seekers will have to adjust to upcoming changes in the hiring process of their potential employers and may be better served if they treat the AI chatbot as if it were human. Although there may be concerns about the rise of AI in recruitment, it is a trend that is not going to go away anytime soon.
