Should machines hire people?

WorklifeIndia

Available for over a year

Companies are starting to embrace artificial intelligence in hiring. One global study found one in three recruiters already doing so. In most companies though, in-person interviews still remain the most preferred way of finding new talent. In this edition of WorklifeIndia, a founder and two recruiters tell us about their own interview experiences. We ask them whether artificial intelligence is the future of recruitment, and if you can really find the best person for a job without meeting them. Presenter: Divya Arya Contributors: Ketan Dewan, CEO, artificial intelligence based hiring platform Talocity; Geetha Thiagarajan, head of HR at Altimetrik; and Nupur Jain, head of recruitment at Wingify.
