A number of companies have put a new line of computer software on the market with specific application for employers and employment headhunters. A large number of companies offer computer software that helps recruiters match skills listed on a resume with job openings. However, the latest in computer software designed to assist recruiters in hiring incorporates artificial in its applications.
The technology was first developed by a hi-tech company headquartered in San Diego, California. The computer software utilizes artificial intelligence to help employers predict not only whether a prospective hire is a good fit but also whether the possible employee under consideration will make a long term commitment to the company.
The computer software incorporating artificial intelligence for human resource application uses statistical models in its operations. The statistical models are designed to predict a job seeker’s aptitude for a position, future performance, ability to manage and other prospective behavior. The predictions emanating from the computer software are based upon an analysis of self-described work histories of applicants in comparison with other resumes included in a database of similarly situated individuals.
The computer software considers a number of different factors in processing data to make detailed predictions and projections about prospective employees. These factors include an examination of past employers, job titles, skills learned, education and general career path. As more individuals are processed through the computer software program, the system becomes “smarter.” Each fresh resume processed into the system not only results in an evaluation of that particular applicant but also provides additional information into the database that will be drawn upon for consideration of future prospective employees.
Programs of this nature have already begun to make a noticeable impact on the amount of time recruiters have to spend screening candidates for employment. As the computer software if further refined in the coming few years, a greater impact will be seen in professional personnel offices around the world- from London to New York.
