"Any sufficiently advanced technology is equivalent to magic." - Arthur C. Clarke
Will AI replace traditional recruiting? Some fear it might and insist it shouldn't. AI lacks accuracy, they say - and it lacks the human touch. At Torre, it lacks neither. Here's why:
76% of candidates claim no response from an employer after applying for a job is more frustrating than no reply after a first date [source]. Yet, 82% of job applications get no response [source], and when they do, it’s generic and non-actionable. There’s a simple explanation: recruiters are frequently overworked. They don’t have the time for individual responses. They can’t offer the personal touch so, in a sense, that’s inhumane too. What’s more, it’ll likely get worse. When candidates start using the AI available to them today and apply to numerous jobs automatically, they may encounter little more than a void.
Torre provides feedback to every candidate at every stage of the recruitment process. Even before they apply, Torre helps candidates determine if a job suits their preferences. If they decide to apply, Torre proactively helps them identify how well they match. Torre also tells them how they rank when compared to other candidates, why they rank the way they do, and what they can do to improve their ranking. Torre’s feedback is uniquely personalized to each candidate.
In the US, names on résumés that suggest White Caucasian get 50% more interview callbacks than others. Female applicants are 30% less likely to receive a call-back than males. In fact, 48% of HR managers admit bias [source]. Sadly, humans are prone to subconscious bias [source]. Such bias is not the type of human touch we want to keep in recruiting.
In the 1990s, several orchestras started implementing blind auditions. As a result, the number of women in orchestras has significantly increased. Interestingly, it’s been shown that blind hiring increases the likelihood of women being hired by 25-46% [source]
At Torre during pre-screening, all candidates are on equal footing. Name, gender, race, and age are ignored. Fairness rules. But it doesn’t end there. Culture fit is automatically assessed using a scientific methodology that takes both the company’s professional traits as well as each candidate’s into account. The assessments are shared with all parties before the first interview, so there’s more objectivity and less discrimination.
When matching candidates, jobs, and teams, 100s of factors and 1000s of data points need consideration. Factors include experience, hard skills, soft skills, skills the candidate wants to develop, the skills they don’t want to develop, behavioral psychometrics, culture fit, credentials, contact network, social networks, recommendations, verifications, learning speed, learning capabilities, and so on. Yet, we humans can only handle four to seven at a time [source]. That’s why recruiters must rely on intuition. But intuition tends to make recruiting subjective, non-scalable, and discriminatory.
Torre’s AI is also different. It’s an open book as opposed to some dark, sinister alchemy. Users can actually review how each factor was calculated and understand in detail how the AI made its recommendation.
AI and automation make recruiting more accurate - and more human - by providing more feedback, equity, and objectivity. Recruitment is faster and less expensive.
Talent constantly goes to waste because it's not being exposed to (or considered for) the right job opportunities. At Torre, we're committed to using technology to change that - not only for the sake of being human, but humane. We want to help every person realize their full potential, and make work fulfilling for all.
Now that’s magic!
