Andrea Keller,44,landed her current content marketing role through an internship-a chance to demonstrate skills after facing roadblocks in traditional applications. Her success story contrasts a growing trend: companies are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to manage a surge in applications, but this reliance is linked to a rise in mis-hires.
The flood of applications, frequently enough exceeding 200,000 for a single position as seen with On Shoes, is prompting businesses to adopt AI-powered tools like ChatGPT to streamline the selection process. However,this shift is resulting in more incorrect hiring decisions,according to experts. While AI can efficiently filter candidates, it struggles to assess crucial qualities like cultural fit and nuanced skills, leading to costly mistakes and decreased productivity. The trend impacts both employers and job seekers, raising questions about the future of recruitment and the value of traditional submission methods.
Keller’s experiance highlights a potential solution: providing opportunities for candidates to showcase their abilities directly, rather than relying solely on resumes and automated screening.
