Summary
Artificial intelligence is now as much a part of job search as spaceships are of Star Wars.
Whether or not AI is your preferred mode of science nonfiction, it is already an invaluable asset for recruiters and job seekers - the secret behind both how jobs find you and how you find jobs.
More Than Meets The AI. Regardless of what you think about the ethics of AI, it's hard to argue with the innovation it has brought to the job search process.
AI only needs access to basic data - location, background, recent searches and job history - to identify which jobs an applicant is most qualified for.
In addition to the wide variety of online applications that help job seekers improve resumes and target relevant jobs, there's the underlying technology that makes modern job boards possible: the Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure, which has grown from an internal network into an operating system for the internet.
AWS's use of AI to predict server usage enables job boards to quickly show job seekers geotargeted openings that align with their profession, skills, interests and career goals.
In Sweden, a robot named Tengai is making waves by conducting job interviews.
While there is cause for skepticism regarding automated decision-making in the workplace, the changes AI brings to the recruiting and hiring process, if used right, can drastically improve both how individuals find jobs and how companies hire.
If you're a job seeker, on the other hand, why not up your AI-driven game by identifying which companies you would love to work for and adding your CV to their ATS? Many companies make their systems easy to find and access online.
Ignoring or avoiding AI in job search, hiring and recruiting is no longer an option.
