Abstract
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology in computer science which creates machines that can work and react like humans. Or we can say that AI can make machines or computer systems simulate the human intelligence processes. Speech and image recognition, learning, planning and problem solving are among of activities designed to perform by computers using AI. AI were widely used now as we’re in the era of Industry 4.0. Popular apps such as Siri in iOS, Google apps such as Gmail and Google Translate and Google Maps, Amazon, Netflix, Facebook and Sportify used AI in their platform. Undercover Recruiter, a recruiting and talent acquisition blog suggest that AI is expected to replace 16% of HR jobs within the next 10 years. One of the emerging use of AI is in the recruitment process. AI can helps HR managers to perform recruitment more efficient especially when selecting the best talent available for their organization. In Industry 4.0, the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) is very popular. Currently, submitting hardcopy forms and resumes were replaced by application of online forms or via job portals. HR Managers may also do headhunting of talents using online portals such as LinkedIn, a business and employment-oriented service that operates via websites and mobile apps. This way of recruitment process will be much smoother with the help of AI technology. Thus, this paper will discuss some of the recruitment methods that can be made to ease recruitment exercises using AI.
