The Application of Artificial Intelligence in Recruitment and its Impact on Biases
- Resulting from the rapid technological advancement in the field of artificial intelligence and its implementation in the business world, intelligent systems are gradually adopted in recruitment. As this development is fast evolving and recent, there is comparatively little research about artificial intelligence in conjunction with recruitment. Hence, this thesis aims at exploring the effects of intelligent algorithms on the recruitment process and the biases involved.To investigate the topic, existing literature was analysed and primary research in form of expert interviews was conducted.The thesis describes the current state of implementation, effects on recruiters and bias as well as potential drawbacks. Overall, it was identified that artificial intelligence cannot prevent bias in personnel selection.The findings imply the need to further research the topic, particularly the implications of algorithmic bias.
