Episode 4 - AI in the Recruitment Process

Recruitment, especially recruitment on scale can be a major bottleneck for the growth of an organisation. Inundated with CVs, recruiters can make mistakes, applications can fall through the cracks and the perfect candidate may be glossed over simply because of insufficient time. In this podcast, we take a look at how artificial intelligence and machine learning can help recruiters handle these problems and applicants get a fair evaluation - even on a deadline.
