AI and Gamification: How Lensa is Building the Future of Recruitment

Hunting for a job has become more frustrating for job seekers in the post-pandemic world where the number of jobs is low but the number of people applying for those jobs is quite high.

Recruiters receive countless CVs for a single position. On average, a single corporate job opening receives 250 applications, out of which 4-6 gets interviewed and only 1 receives the job offer. Usually, recruiters spend around 6 seconds scanning a single CV. It takes 6 seconds for them to decide if a CV moves forward for the next round.

This task of screening and shortlisting candidates for the next round is tedious and time-consuming, which is why many firms have started deploying AI algorithms and hiring bots for the same.

AI for recruitment, a part of HR technology, is a work-in-progress being built to make the lives of recruiters easier and efficient. It is paving new ways to hire and recruiters are going to rely on its ability to enhance the entire recruitment process.

A tech recruitment company named Lensa is leading the way with their innovative AI-enabled and gamified solutions like Lensa Workstyle Game. This game matches the job seeker with the right job by assessing their skill set, resume, soft skills, behavioral traits, and problem-solving styles.

Emerging Role of AI in Recruitment Process

Recruitment has many menial, tedious, and time-consuming processes which can be easily automated with the application of Artificial Intelligence. This new technology can streamline or even automate the high-volume and repetitive tasks enabling recruiters to focus on the important parts of the recruitment and hiring processes.

For example, a software that utilizes the power of machine learning to run sentiment analysis of the job descriptions to identify any biased language.

Companies that are using different aspects of AI like Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning in their hiring process are out flaunting their advanced approach to hiring. This helps them attract better talent as they are considered technologically advanced, and it’s not wrong for job seekers to assume that such companies have better opportunities.

Positive Influence of AI on Recruitment

– AI standardizes the job matching by considering several attributes like years of experience, skills, knowledge, etc. This drastically improves the quality of hires.
– Using AI-driven chatbots to answer candidate’s questions, scheduling interviews, sending invites to all the stakeholders, and more can save a lot of recruiters’ time.
– Since the AI chatbots are available 24/7, they improve the candidate’s overall experience with your company.
– The application of AI to automate mundane and repetitive tasks frees up recruiters’ time and thereby enabling them to work on strategic hiring proactively. Moreover, recruiters also get to spend more in-person time with their candidates, allowing them to forge better relationships and determine the cultural fit.

“If recruiters and companies can learn to pair themselves with a specific AI, they can train it to understand a particular corporate mission and culture—so that recruiters feel like they leverage these chatbots and other similar technology as extensions of their teams, not as replacements for them.” – Dan Finnigan, CEO of Jobvite
