Digital Transformation in Recruitment…?

Digital Transformation is simply put the implementation of technology on those tasks where human intervention or intelligence is not needed.

Technology implementations, simply termed as Automation, have been in existence since the 60s and 70s. The Industrial Revolution of the 60s in the manufacturing industry, where the need to produce fast (driven by the growth in consumerism), was at its peak, adoption of automation grew fiercely.  Robotics in manufacturing thus got popular and significantly changed the way business got conducted and products got consumed.

Then in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, automation moved a notch higher where complex tasks were getting automated; tasks that would prove to be extremely difficult for humans to deliver. This phase was Business Intelligence-driven technology automation. For example, building co-relations via human defined algorithms on the vast data generated on a specific business task, the BI technology delivered recommendations on faster, better and cheaper ways to execute a given task.

Come to the mid-late 2000s, AI & Machine Learning, although in the fairly early stages of implementations, is a paradigm shift from the pure process automation and business intelligence driven automation. AI is attempting to not only automate processes that are defined by humans and leverage business intelligence derived from vast sets of data but move several steps ahead and enhance the algorithms set by humans and correct them or improve them in a continuous mode. This intelligent continuous improvement on a large set of data (big data), the output delivered by AI would typically be impossible for the humans to think and execute.

HRTech (recruitment software) of today has just about made it journey towards process automation (applicant tracking systems); few moving to business intelligence driven solutions (assessments systems, HR analytics) to finally far and few into true artificial intelligence (CV & JD stack ranking, social sourcing, speech analytics, etc).

Products like Reckrut.com achieve significant process automation bringing inefficiencies coupled with business intelligence based analytics and a flavor of AI & ML to deliver insights around best times to call and the best time to followup depending on huge data set of candidate’s behavioral pattern of responding to calls based on their profile (demographic).

Finally, most large organizations are still in the implementation stages of true process automation to remove manual interventions wherever appropriate. And if such implementations deliver the required ROI in terms of time, quality and money savings, we feel it is truly moving towards Digital Transformation.
