AI Software technology has been some great advancements within the past decade. Companies are now seeing the value that AI Software can bring to the full-cycle recruitment process. With these new tools and integration tools you can now stream line many mundane tasks within the recruiting process. These tools can better assist Recruiters with screening applicants, finding prospects, calendar scheduling, talent sourcing, and much more. With the help of AI software, you can improve your process and find the best talent more efficiently.

There are so many software tools to review and research on. I wanted to choose some popular ones within the market and write a brief review on each. Below I’ve compiled a list of tools and you should demo and review further.

List of AI Software Recruiting Tools to review:

1. XOR.ai

This is an HR chatbot and recruiting software that is based on AI. This AI chatbot can automate the screening process, reply to the queries via text message, emails, schedule interviews, and pursue WhatsApp messaging as well. You can seek and recruit the top talent with the help of this software more efficiently.

2. Pymetrics.ai

Pymetrics allows organizations to find out the employees best suited for a certain niche role. Through this software, a test is taken by the current employees performing a certain role and then through those tests, a persona is created for every single role. The candidates who apply can take a similar test and their aptitude for that role can be tested based on other teams’ data points.

3. Paradox.ai

Paradox also uses machine learning and interact conversationally with the candidates. This chatbot lets the applicant know the key areas and questions that matter in the interview. Their label is appreciated by many vendors and has become an industry standard within our community.

4. Loxo.co

Loxo has a CRM that helps in making the recruitment system more efficient and faster. They have an up-to-date database that contains the contact information of millions of people. You can build a list of the candidates that suit your job post and get started with the process. Loxo helps in automating the job hiring sequence from sending them messages through text, emails, and calls. It also helps automate the end of the hiring process as well.

5. Humanly.io

Is a fast and simple tool for smaller recruitment teams who want to speed up their process of hiring. You can screen candidates and schedule appointments. It also uses your performance management data and updates the system to screen better candidates in the future. If you are looking for a tool to fasten and improve your recruiting process, then this tool is worth reviewing.

6. Seekout.io

Seekout is also based on AI and it has a few procedures that make the recruitment procedure easy. It will build custom shortlists for the candidates based on the job description you have given. It has a sequence and automated procedure to reach the candidates who could be suitable for the positions. Overall, this tool has become one of my favorites and I highly recommend scheduling a demo.

The Benefits of using AI Software:

As its been briefly discussed above, there are a lot of things that become easy when you assign work to the AI recruiting software tool. It doesn’t take your work from you, instead, it makes you smarter and efficient and lets you focus on other important things.

1. Applicant Screening

The screening process becomes easier and more authentic with the help of AI. Many of the software provide chatbots that ask several questions to the applicant, interpret those answers, and screen them based on the criteria they have been given.

2. Appointment Scheduling

Scheduling interviews sometimes causes fatigue especially when you have a lot on your plate. So, these tools take away the pain of scheduling and do everything for you through an automated scheduling platform.

3. ATS

ATS (application tracking system) is usually filled with a lot of applicants just waiting to get engaged with. You can use this to your advantage and use AI to score your ATS for potential leads. Based on your search requirements you can have AI run continuous searches and rank the best talent.

4. Site Conversion

Most of the candidates might be just visiting your website and don’t end up applying. You can change it with the help of a chatbot who would be there to answer their queries and tell them about the new roles and opportunities. The more you engage with applicants the better chances that they will apply for future job openings.

5. Talent Sourcing

The AI tools interpret the job requirement you give them, find out the best candidates that would be best for the job from the databases, and return with the potential candidates. It can also automate your sourcing process and helps reach the applicants through email and text.

The Down Sides of AI Software Tools:

When you rely on technology, you have to face some of the downsides. Though AI is the best approach for the recruiting system, it also has some pitfalls that you need to be aware of. No matter how automated the system gets, the human-to-human interaction still has a lot of worth. Here are some of the pitfalls that you should may happen while using these tools:

1. Expectations

We all are used to dealing with technology whether it’s on a website where you chat with a bot to ask your query or it is Google where you type anything to get answers. If we have a simple query, we are fine with it but if there are some complications and there is a dire need for an explanation, we expect to reach humans on the other side. If we don’t, it is just a bad experience.

2. AI Biases

Sometimes tools can cause Biases within the search or ranking queries. This is something that may cause issues while you use these tools. You do not want to discriminate based on gender, race, or religion when you are finding, prospecting, or interviewing potential candidates.

3. Candidate Experience

Though applicants don’t expect you to respond to each and every messaged personally we all want human touch sooner or later. Don’t ruin the candidate experience with this automated process where they only get to talk to chatbots and receive automated messages. When you have found the potential candidates, spend time with them, and meet them personally to make the hiring process more authentic.

Return on Investment – ROI

I recommend conducting an ROI analysis on each tool. There are several ways to evaluate the ROI for example: increasing applicants, cost per hour, improving time, and more. This may take a while to get measurable results on a tool but will pay off in the end. It will be a huge win if you can show that a tool improved your process and help fill a role faster.

In today’s market where everyone is trying to find the best talent and there is a lot of competition, so it makes sense to use AI software tools in recruitment. When deciding on which tool to use it best to choose the one that your team wants to improve on like: screening, engaging, talent sourcing, or scheduling. With the help of these tools, you can then attract and hire the best talent for your company.
