New Delhi:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has already made its way into various industries and is quickly becoming a vital part of everyday life. Its plethora of uses include writing articles, detecting fraud, teaching and pollution tracking. AI will soon play a key role in another area: job interviews.
Nearly 43% of recruiters plan to implement AI for job interviews by 2024, according to a survey conducted by Resume Builder – a popular platform for job seekers.
Of all companies that participated in the survey, 15% said they will rely on AI for all hiring decisions from “start to finish”.
Only 32% of respondents said their company has no plans to use AI for interviews.
When asked about the efficiency of AI interviews, 65% said it would increase hiring efficiency, 14% said it would decrease hiring efficiency, and 21% believe it may not have any effect on the process.
The survey also found that 46% of job seekers now use ChatGPT to write their resumes and cover letters. Furthermore, a very high percentage (78%) indicated that they received a response from companies when they used AI to apply for a job.
Among companies already using both AI for interviews and applicant tracking software (ATS), 60% said the latter is more effective.
The online survey, conducted by Resume Builder, consisted of 2,286 working Americans between the ages of 18 and 64.
All respondents were either managers responsible for hiring employees or those involved in the hiring process.
