The Hidden Candidates: How AI Uncovers Overlooked Talent

Let’s stop and think of a scenario here. You posted a job opportunity a while ago and received lots of applications. However, after multiple stages of filtering, the candidate you’re left with isn’t quite up to the mark as you expected. “Why does this happen?” you might ask. Well, it’s simply because most cases,  typical ATS solutions reject candidates who do not mention the specific keywords in their resumes. 

Statistics

According to Oorwin, 75% of qualified candidates get rejected just because of keyword mismatch or failure to meet specific criteria mentioned in the job description.

AI tools utilize Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze resumes deeply and understand the context behind candidates’ experiences. This technology allows recruiters to identify skills that may not be directly stated in a candidate’s resume but are nonetheless relevant to the job at hand. For example, an applicant with a diverse career path might have developed critical problem-solving abilities or leadership skills that could be beneficial in various roles. AI helps illuminate these qualities, ensuring that no potential talent is overlooked.

Additionally, using AI for resume screening helps reduce bias in hiring decisions. Traditional methods often favor certain people based on implicit biases tied to specific backgrounds. By focusing solely on skills and qualifications rather than other criteria that are not important, AI creates a more equitable hiring environment, and this is where CloudApper AI comes into play.
