Where Chatbots have been a major boost for recruiters, is in improving the overall candidate experience, while reducing administration time and tasks for recruiters. Modern-day bots are providing quality real-time answers to both simple and complex (and even sarcastically posed) questions. As far as Recruitment is concerned, technology has equally advanced to the point where recruiters can feel comfortable and let bots take care of the administrative steering. Where Chatbots have been useful to HR is when they help in collecting candidate information, answer questions from candidates and schedule interviews too.

This can be done by, sourcing and screening candidates based on qualitative data points. AI can be programmed to neglect or omit sensitive, identity-based information that might otherwise open an employer up to potential bias or discrimination-related suit.

As the recruitment process becomes increasingly reliant on technology to drive higher efficiencies, the recruiters have access to a lot of sensitive candidate/employee data. The current practice of uploading and storing data on a cloud server makes it susceptible to hacking and data-tampering. However, the hiring process has seen a good boost, with Blockchain enhancing data security by breaking all data into tiny chunks and distributing it across an entire network of computers. The blockchain hiring process is seen to be of huge support in candidate credential verification.

In addition to, vastly reducing recruiter administration work, AI improves the candidate experience and also eliminates any unconscious bias, we humans may otherwise hold, when making hiring decisions.
