Improving Processes with Data-driven Tools
In John’s opinion, the pandemic has pushed more organizations to digital methods. In the past, many HCM employers used traditional, in-person, methods for Human Capital Management, but the pandemic forced the move to digital processes. This has benefited organizations as they have been able to improve their processes with more data driven tools.
John says that it is a step in the right direction. Moving to digital approaches with technological developments, organizations are moving towards more objective and data driven methods of HCM.
Leveraging AI and Empowering Candidates to Share Their Stories
HR is leveraging AI and recruitment assessments as tools alongside current processes to optimize recruiting. With the shift to digital tools due to the pandemic, there is a lot more AI and automation development in the market. At a high level, John is seeing AI being applied to recruitment in four main ways:
- Helping measure the competencies of the future.
- Increasing recruiter’s ability to identify the best candidates and avoid missing out on top talent.
- Improve the candidate journey by creating a more engaging and supportive candidate experience.
- Supporting candidates to share their stories, authentic selves, and highlight their strengths. (such as in video interviews).
Talegent’s AI Labs are currently working on data gathering for applying AI and machine learning to assessments. These will support human intelligence and facilitate natural responses, empowering candidates to share their stories.
