Artificial intelligence (AI) is still seen as somewhat of a buzzword in the HR industry, but as companies continue to refine the technology, it seems the future of HR might already be here. AI has touched almost every other major business department, so why not HR?

AI can indeed revolutionize HR efforts, no matter the size of a particular organization. It does this by acting as an extension to facilitate workflow and streamlining processes that would otherwise take days or weeks. 

From screening resumes to measuring employee performance, AI can automate many administrative tasks so you can spend more time on strategic initiatives that impact your business. Here are four reasons why HR professionals may want to consider investing in AI.


HRMatrix Recruitment Bot Eliminates Human Bias

In addition to helping recruiters tackle application volume, HRMatrix Recruitment Bot based on AI technology can also eliminate unconscious bias. All humans are biased, there’s no way around it. We innately favor things that are familiar or similar to us, for example, a candidate’s name, school, appearance, accent, clothes, etc. can influence your opinion of them and distract from your ability to evaluate their skills and competencies.

Introducing AI technology to your hiring process can not only help reduce the burden of reviewing the sheer volume of your applications, but they can also provide an unbiased, objective perspective when selecting which candidates to move forward in your recruiting process. AI is immune to any effects that personality, gender, race, or ethnicity can have on the outcome of employee screening and can suggest questions based solely on an individual’s competency for a particular job. This allows HR professionals to find the most qualified individual for a job without any personal opinions getting in the way while freeing up time for your team to focus on sourcing the best candidates and optimizing your candidate experience. 

Assesses Performance

AI’s use spans well beyond just recruiting. Some companies are leveraging AI to evaluate their employees and assess their performance. With HRMatrix AI technology,  your organization can actively and accurately monitor employees in their ability to fulfill a list of objectives that are unique to their position. This data can then be used to produce automated reviews that can be helpful during annual reviews and discussions around promotions and raises. Because this technology can be manipulated in a variety of ways to best suit the needs of an organization, it’s also possible to establish a grading system that can be referenced to give HR professionals a quick overview of how an individual might be faring during a particular course of time.

Processes Large Quantities of Data

Think of how much time goes into recruiting talent for your organization. From resume screening to scheduling interviews to checking references, the hiring process can be incredibly time-consuming—especially if you want to find the right person for the job. Depending on the size of your organization and the number of roles you’re trying to fill, reviewing the number of applications your company receives can be a daunting and slow-moving task. That’s where HRMatrix Recruitment Bot comes in.
