Introduction
Wouldn't it be absolutely incredible if you effortlessly post a job, increase the visibility of your ad in front of hundreds of suitable candidates and find the right one in no time? Well, it’s no secret that all of this is possible with the help of artificial intelligence. AI in hiring is here to stay.
We’ve briefly touched base on the topic in the article on AI in job searching to help candidates understand better. Now it’s time to dive deeper and discuss how technology and artificial intelligence in particular can help recruiters and hiring managers save time, automate mundane tasks and pre-select the most suitable candidates for open positions.
Automation in hiring
As with most industries, AI is comfortably settling in recruitment for all the right reasons - it makes the process faster, easier and bias-free for both candidates and employers.
Automation in hiring dates back to the 1970s when the first applicant traffic system (ATS) was introduced. Before that, people were posting jobs in newspapers or it was up to candidates to go and ask for a job. The 1990s completely changed the game with the invention of the Internet. And we’ve definitely come far - job ads are now everywhere, both online and on billboards around town.
But how can employers get even more visibility? Enter AI.
A survey by Resume Builder shows that by 2025, 83% of employers will use AI for initial resume reviews, while 69% plan to use it for assessing candidates' qualifications. Let's go through some other implementations of AI in recruitment.

Anonymous candidate profiles
Hiring should be based on talents and qualifications - skill-based hiring is on the rise for all the right reasons. It’s an approach to hiring where hiring decisions are taken based on the skills candidates have and the skills a role demands, creating a transparent job-matching process that turns out to be beneficial for both employers and workers.
Candidate profiles on nPloy are anonymous. We strongly encourage anonymity in recruitment - it’s known to reduce hiring bias, increase the talent pool and improve employer branding.
When proactively sourcing talents from the database, recruiters see information about their experience, qualifications and skills. Personal data such as name, age, photo and gender is kept hidden. When an employer finds a suitable profile, they can send them an invitation to apply (we call it a Match Request). If the candidate rejects it, they remain anonymous. It’s only after the job seeker accepts the request and there’s a mutual interest between both parties that personal details are shared with the company.
Conclusion
AI can be your best friend when it comes to recruitment - it can eliminate mundane manual tasks, increase the visibility of your job opportunities among suitable candidates and pre-select them, making the process faster and more efficient.
