Mumbai: A large number of professionals believe human validation is essential for making final hiring decisions notwithstanding major roles played by Artificial Intelligence (AI), a report has said.
On AI making final hiring decisions, scepticism dominated with 72 per cent respondents saying human validation is essential, while only 15 per cent are open to fully AI-driven decisions if systems are well-calibrated, workforce staffing and HR solutions provider Genius HR Tech said in a report. Over 10 per cent said AI could be allowed in high-volume junior or fresher hiring, it added.
The Genius HR Tech report is based on inputs from 1,887 professionals across industries during August this year.
Further, the report revealed that most respondents believe in AI’s efficiency with 47 per cent of professionals reporting a significant reduction in time-to-hire while 28 per cent noting very slight improvements.
However, when it comes to candidate experience, it remained a grey area, nearly half (49 per cent) gave mixed reactions as some valued efficiency while others found it impersonal, said the report.
About 27 per cent of the respondents outrightly disliked the AI processes for lacking the human touch, it added.
When asked which recruitment areas have benefited most from AI, resume screening and shortlisting emerged as the clear winner with 62 per cent of respondents, followed by skill-based assessments (18 per cent), interview scheduling (14 per cent), and candidate sourcing (6 per cent).
