From Siri to Alexa, self-driving vehicles to targeted advertisements, it’s hard to find an industry or element of daily life that has not been influenced by AI. In fact, today it is likely that when you apply for a job, AI will also be involved in the process. Many companies - from Allstate to Hilton to Five Guys Burgers and Fries - are using AI to help recruiters and hiring manager screen, review and interview job candidates. “The life of an applicant can and has dramatically changed as of late, thanks to the ubiquity of smartphones and the increased comfort of chat as a communication standard,” says Ankit Somani, co-founder of AllyO , an end-to-end AI recruiter. “With AllyO, employers create a fast-track application experience, which is available on all smartphone-friendly communication channels. This means that now, when applicants encounter job posts on online job boards for companies that use AllyO’s technology, they are encouraged to apply to the position by simply texting a number or starting a chat on the company website. Within a few minutes of an immersive and entirely automated conversation, AllyO helps applicants find the right job that fits their needs and abilities; screens them specifically for that role; assesses their skills via text, video and/or audio assessments; then immediately schedules them for the next available interview.” Recruiters are using tools like AllyO, TextRecruit and Montage to text with candidates, schedule and execute on-demand videos, and self-scheduling. Candidates can complete interviews on their own time with these AI tools and chatbots can make scheduling and follow up questions much easier. So long, application black hole. Goodbye, weeks of wait time. “[The] technology remains available 24/7 for any open-ended questions, while also continuing to guide applicants through the hiring process,” adds Somani. “This unique, end-to-end experience - available at applicant’s fingertips - is making recruiting more accessible and user-friendly than ever before.” If you’re applying to a new job in 2019, get ready to interact with AI.
