The perfect candidate screening and recruiting process–one where you place the right candidates in the right seats, avoid unnecessary and time-consuming processes, and hit your numbers–can often seem like an impossibility. Think of it as a formula that you’re constantly perfecting. While every organization may have a slightly different formula, there are two components everyone needs: efficiency and equity. Most recruitment teams are clear on why more efficient processes are a good thing–and that improving hiring efficiency leads to bigger, better gains. What you may be less familiar with, however, is how building equitable hiring processes can not only improve efficiency, but also help you diversify, make better hiring decisions, and drive innovation.
Efficiency drives faster, better results
Most recruitment teams are already working with an applicant tracking system. But did you know that adding AI-powered screening, scoring, and assessment into the mixes is an easy way to improve efficiency without interrupting your current workflows? This type of tech allows you to qualify great talent faster because it moves every resume through a standardized, simplified process. Typically, it looks something like this:
Job seekers’ applications land in the system.
AI-powered analysis automatically screens and scores candidates, providing added enrichment to candidate profiles.
You gather the short list of top-scoring candidates.
You move qualified candidates through the hiring process.
That’s it–simple, efficient, and effective.
Equity ensures results are fair
While efficiency is a must-have, it’s time to think bigger when it comes to your dream hiring process–that’s where equity comes in.
Another bonus of ethical AI hiring software is its ability to reduce unintentional bias through consistently applied standards and the use of de-identification. Consistently upholding requirement expectations and automatically removing identifying aspects of a resume - whether it be age, gender, or alma mater - ensures that all applicants are evaluated on a level playing field. When you incorporate this type of software into your current applicant tracking system, you can rest assured that every resume is evaluated fairly and on what really matters, like skills, potential, growth, and adaptability.
Equity in hiring practices also helps you reach your diversity and inclusion goals. Equity is the building block for diversity of experience, perspective, and thought, something that is proven to improve outcomes, boost innovation, and drive ROI.
