The rise of video in job recruitment has sparked understandable concerns about bias. However, through Jobz the combined power of video and AI can take an important step toward a more equitable hiring process.
Traditional methods like resumes are rife with implicit biases. Videos, like the ones that we record for candidates and hiring managers alike at Jobz, provide a more holistic view of a candidate's skills and communication than just a resume. Though these attributes are crucial for cultural fit and team dynamics, they are often poorly represented on paper.
The true game-changer lies in coupling AI with video, like we do at Jobz. AI can extract objective data from video on skills, knowledge, and communication effectiveness. The AI on our platform scores candidates for a match against the job description, free from the biases that often creep into human evaluation.
Though hiring decisions are still in the hands of hiring managers, by revealing who the objective best candidates are among a talent pool, Jobz's AI can at least ensure that all candidates get a fair start in the process, and perhaps train managers too about their own assumptions. Further, Jobz's AI can compile data for companies about their managers' interview decisions to assess whether diversity training may be needed for the team.
It is understandable to have concerns about whether using video in a hiring process will introduce new avenues for bias. However, the use of both video and AI presents an opportunity to revolutionize hiring for the better. By focusing on objective data in surfacing the most qualified candidates among a talent pool, Jobz can be a part of building a more equitable recruitment landscape!
