AI in Recruitment: Painful teething problems
Is AI too good to be true?
For basic executive hiring routines such as primary research into candidates or companies, the scope of AIs seems unparalleled. They majestically sweep through vast fields of data, summarizing their findings at the speed of light. It's hard to fault their rapidity and their reach is impressive. But even here, the true depth and scope of an AI is still limited. Quite simply, to perform reliably, a bot depends on learning primarily from publicly available internet data. And the landscape is full of holes, blind spots and quite often, rubbish. Consider the CV, a key instrument in the executive search consultant's control panel.
