New research published by IrishJobs has revealed more than 1 in 4 (28%) of employers in Ireland have introduced artificial intelligence (AI) to their recruitment processes.
The research report shows that sending reminders, tracking candidate application status and scheduling job interviews are the top ways in which organisations are using AI to automate the recruitment process.
The IrishJobs AI & Recruitment Report surveyed recruitment decision-makers in 250 businesses across Ireland.
The research revealed the rapidly growing impact of AI tools and technologies on the recruitment landscape in Ireland, it also revealed that 37% of recruiters are optimistic about the technology and its capacity to enable them to do their job better. Half of recruiters are unsure about the future impact of the technology. Findings show that more than half (56%) of firms that have introduced AI to recruitment have done so in the past 12 months. .
Sam Dooley, Country Director of The Stepstone Group Ireland with responsibility for IrishJobs said “While we’re still at an early stage in the lifecycle of AI, it’s clear from our findings that the technology is having a significant impact in how employers attract and recruit potential talent – more than one in four organisations in Ireland are already leveraging the technology to drive change”.
