Recruitment in the age of AI (2022 update)

Since the dawn of artificial intelligence, there have been concerns about how technology will impact human jobs. With the rapid expansion of AI, many businesses are turning to technology to automate tasks traditionally done by human employees. This has led to concerns about job security and the future of work.

While it is undeniable that AI will impact human jobs, it is essential to remember that it also has the potential to create new and better jobs. For example, a study by PwC found that 38% of employment in the US is at high risk of being replaced by robots or AI in the next 15 years. However, the study also found that there will be an increase in new job opportunities in healthcare, education, and creative services.

With this in mind, businesses should focus on training their employees for the future of work. This includes teaching them how to use AI and other technologies to automate tasks and work collaboratively with robots and other machines. Businesses should also focus on creating a diverse and inclusive workforce. This will help ensure they can take advantage of AI's new opportunities.

Recruitment in the age of AI is a complex process. First, of course, you want to find the best people for your company, but you also want to ensure that you are inclusive and diverse. So how do you do both?

Here are some tips for recruiting in the age of AI:

1. Do your research. Make sure you are aware of your industry's diversity and inclusion landscape. Know what companies are doing well and not doing so well.

2. Be open to change. The world is changing, and your recruitment process needs to change. If you're open to change, you will stay caught up.

3. Use technology wisely. Technology can be an excellent tool for diversity and inclusion, but it's essential to use it wisely. Please make sure that your technology is actually helping you to find the best candidates and not just screening certain groups of people.

4. Don't be afraid to experiment. Trying new things is often the best way to find success. So don't be scared to experiment with different recruiting methods and ways of measuring diversity and inclusion.

5. Be honest with yourself. Are you doing everything you can to be inclusive and diverse? Or are there areas where you can improve? Again, be honest with yourself, and be willing to make changes.

There are a few key things to keep in mind regarding diversity and inclusion in recruitment in the age of AI.

Here are some Do and Don't:

1. DO: Be aware of your unconscious biases and how they may impact your decision-making.

2. DON'T rely exclusively on algorithms to decide whom to interview or hire.

3. DO ensure that your recruitment process is as inclusive as possible and that you actively seek candidates from diverse backgrounds.

4. DO pay attention to the importance of cultural fit when assessing candidates.

5. DO ensure that you have an evident diversity and inclusion policy and that everyone involved in the recruitment process is aware of it.

6. DO remember that diversity and inclusion should be a continuous process and that you should always look for ways to improve your practices.

In conclusion — it is easy to make a mistake in the age of AI.

We should understand how it works and also know how we work. ====> On that soon.
