Good interviewing is directly linked to your bottom line

“The lack of proactive action by companies to improve their interview process, given the impact of the last two years, is really astounding,” says Madeline Laurano, Aptitude Research’s Chief Analyst. “This is having a direct negative effect on their bottom line.

“Although companies have shifted to virtual interviews, they must carefully consider long-term strategies, their culture around interviewing candidates, and providing a fair and equitable experience.”

Companies are embracing AI in interviewing to deliver scalability, reduce time, and provide consistency. Blind interview solutions can also reduce bias. Candidates are embracing automated interviews as every candidate receives personalized learning from the experience. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of companies in the survey stated that AI provides a positive experience in the interview process and can support both managers as well as candidates by providing guidance and a fair process.

Ai is the key to unlocking better hiring outcomes
