Artificial intelligence (AI), also known as machine intelligence, is a rapidly evolving technology that enables machines to think and act like humans. It encompasses a wide range of applications, but its core lies in the tasks, processes and decision-making that AI can automate which would otherwise require human intervention.

AI is also dynamic rather than static technology. Once deployed, it is capable of continuing to learn and adapt to new situations.

The potential of AI within the HR department is enormous, especially in recruitment processes. AI can help the HR team in a number of ways, such as identifying and analysing candidates, automating the application process and taking over administrative tasks such as sending and following up on email communication. As a result, AI can help the HR team save time and resources that can be put to better use elsewhere.

What?

CVViZ is recruitment software that uses artificial intelligence to automate candidate sourcing, match the right candidates to the right jobs, provide insight into the recruitment process and improve the quality of hiring.

More specifically, CVViZ’s AI algorithm helps rank CVs based on the job description, enabling employers and recruiters to quickly identify the most qualified candidates for vacancies.

How?

It does this through a natural language processing algorithm (also known as NLP, Natural Language Processing), based on a contextual understanding of the CV. This goes beyond tools that only screen based on essential keywords. For example, to fill a marketing position, you could search for keywords such as "marketing", but contextual AI screening can also take into account the context of the job, such as the candidate’s experience with marketing campaigns, writing skills and ability to analyse data.

The tool therefore screens your recruitment database and matches CVs to find the right candidates based on its knowledge of previous recruitment processes. CVViZ then ranks candidates based on previous and current knowledge.

CVViZ also offers:

• Automated CV parsing: CVViZ can extract information from CVs and create structured data that can be easily searched and analysed.
• Customisable screening criteria: Employers can define specific criteria for the skills, experience and qualifications they are looking for in a candidate, and CVViZ can filter CVs based on these criteria.
• Real-time updates: CVViZ can continuously monitor and update its CV analysis as new candidates apply, giving employers a real-time view of the most qualified candidates.
• Integration with job sites and applicant tracking systems (ATS): CVViZ can integrate with job sites and ATS systems to streamline the recruitment process and reduce the workload for recruiters.

Chatbot.com is a company that offers chatbots powered by AI algorithms.

At present, chatbots are primarily used during recruitment, with many companies deploying them to improve screening processes, answer candidate questions more easily and more. A chatbot can also help with onboarding to ensure a smooth start for new employees. There are also various other areas where a chatbot can have a major impact, such as FAQs and training.

The biggest challenge for traditional chatbots, however, is innovation: chatbots are only as useful as the information provided to them. They need to be kept up to date in order to develop their capabilities and remain relevant. This is where AI can lend a hand in the development of chatbots and therefore also support your HR department.

How?

These chatbots are, first and foremost, easy to build yourself through a user-friendly builder, requiring no coding knowledge. Once you have built and launched the chatbot, various algorithms start working in the background.

Chatbot.com applies two matching systems to match user questions with the correct answer:

1. On the one hand, there are Machine Learning algorithms that analyse complete sentences. This works through Natural Language Processing (NLP), an algorithm that can correctly interpret incoming messages, enabling chatbots to understand and correctly answer nearly 80% of questions.
2. On the other hand, you can also choose and add keywords yourself to improve matching.

In addition, Chatbot.com also uses machine learning, whereby the tool analyses input in order to continuously learn and improve.

Chatbot.com is more of a chatbot for beginners, placing user-friendliness above customisation options. Thanks to easy-to-analyse dashboards and countless integrations with other apps, chatbot.com is nevertheless the ideal chatbot to start with.
