AI, Machine Learning, NLP in Recruitment? Confusing Enough?!!

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning, Big Data, Predictive Analytics, Algorithms…etc all this sounds so complicated and confusing, isn’t it? IT IS! If you remember the age-old saying – “ If you can’t convince, “Just Confuse”!

That’s exactly what these new Artificial Intelligence & Data-driven Recruitment solutions keep doing in the view that their solutions are sold (to naïve Customers and Investors)!

There are a lot of solutions springing up in the Recruitment domain that talk about Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Predictive Analytics and blah blah blah! Let me explain you through a fictitious mathematical scenario:

So the new Artificial Intelligence-based Recruitment sales guy tells you, here is our algorithm for determining the best match score:

1/n * SinX = 6

Go ahead and solve this in front of the guy like this

1/n * SinX = 6 (n is in numerator and denominator, so they cancel each other)

1 * SiX = 6

Six = 6

So what’s the big deal?!

So uncomplicate Recruitment, explore process automation and enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and speed of the Recruiters. Recruiters have enough intelligence of their own to be needing Artificial Intelligence; as yet…
