Artificial Intelligence has entered the chat and the interview room. From screening resumes to scheduling interviews and even conducting initial assessments, AI is playing a bigger role in hiring than ever before. But that raises a bold question: Are bots actually better at hiring than humans?
AI excels at what humans often find exhausting scanning thousands of CVs, matching keywords, analyzing data points, and making unbiased decisions. Tools like Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), predictive hiring algorithms, and chatbots have reduced hiring time, improved quality of hire, and removed a great deal of unconscious bias from the process.
But here’s the twist hiring isn’t just about data. It’s about humans. Empathy, gut instinct, cultural fit, and the ability to assess emotional intelligence are areas where AI still falls short. A bot might choose the “perfect” candidate on paper, but a hiring manager might feel the spark that algorithms can’t compute.
The smartest companies today are not choosing between bots and humans they’re combining both. Let AI handle the grunt work, but let HR professionals make the final call. That way, hiring becomes faster, fairer, and still fundamentally human.
