Mohammad S A A Alothman Talks About Smart Hiring With Artificial Intelligence

 

You work for a newly set-up tech company receiving hundreds of applications, full of qualifications, experience, and unique personality traits.

                                                                                                

The number is staggering from one to hundreds, and it feels like a never-ending task. But that’s exactly what AI is there to help with - collapsing all the hassle and making this job much easier while converting what has been a lengthy process into a smooth one.

 

Inspired by how AI can perfect the whole talent acquisition process, ensuring that the whole recruitment journey runs smoothly and efficiently, are Mohammad S A A Alothman and his team of AI Tech Solutions.

 

To see the potential of AI in talent acquisition, Mohammad S A A Alothman explains the step-by-step process of the benefits of AI in finding and hiring the right candidate.

 

Step 1: Job Posting and Candidate Sourcing                                

The job posts must be published online in the hope that the job seekers will see them. Traditionally, the writer would write a detailed job posting and then wait for the applications to roll in and vet the prospects. That’s how the process has been working so far, but here’s how it can be improved with AI.

 

Now, using the power of AI-driven tools, you can optimize your job postings with search and deliver them to potential candidates. A huge data set enables AI to ensure the right keywords and tone are used with the right structure to appeal to the target audience.

 

According to Mohammad S A A Alothman, AI also helps in sourcing passive candidates who are not actively looking but fit the job role. AI scrapes public profiles and professional networks, identifying potential candidates who meet the requirements and inviting them to apply.

 

Teams at AI Tech Solutions are really excited about how AI will streamline job posting and candidate sourcing using data right from the beginning to ensure that the right talent is reached.

 

Step 2: Screening Resumes and Applications

Then, AI-based tools such as resume screening software are brought in when applications flood into the organization. Indeed, this is an enormous time saver. Otherwise, it would have been a couple of days, weeks even, going through resumes, but an AI system can pump out hundreds of them in a fraction of that time period.

 

An AI system analyzes a resume through the qualifications mentioned in the job description, finds the keywords relevant to that job, relevant experience, and most importantly, soft skills. Mohammad S A A Alothman said, "AI does not simply focus on technical qualifications, it may also be trained to seek out candidates who may possess strong leadership abilities or cultural fit within the organization itself."

 

While AI will automate the resume screening process, AI Tech Solutions believes AI will reduce human bias and allow only the most qualified candidates to move on to the next phase.

Step 3: AI-Powered Assessments    

Having screened the resumes and finalized those of the potential candidates, the next thing to do is to grade the candidates. Traditionally, the most common means used in evaluating these candidates has been to require them to take some tests or assessments. The relevance of these tests can be much more effective with AI.

 

For example, AI-based platforms can do real-time coding assessments for software engineering candidates. In real-time, the AI system will rate their performance not only on their technical prowess but also on their approach to solving problems, creativity, and even handling stress.

 

In the words of Mohammad S A A Alothman, it can also offer unbiased scoring and feedback, which will decrease the chances of unconscious human error creeping into the selection process. AI-based assessment tools are already on their way to helping companies find the best talent by moving beyond traditional methods and finding the practical abilities of the candidates rather than solely depending on resumes.

 

Step 4: AI Enhanced Interviews

Interviews are probably one of the most vital elements of a recruitment cycle. In the traditional sense, interviews were a process that required plenty of time and resources to plan, conduct, and assess, but AI has enabled interviews to be made richer by video interview platforms with advanced AI features.

 

Video interviews would enable AI analysis of a candidate's tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions – thus truly giving insight into their emotional quotient and cultural fit. It does not necessarily mean that AI has started replacing human judgment, but it now delivers more data to hiring managers who would be making informed decisions.

 

AI Tech Solutions is headed by Mohammad S A A Alothman, who keeps the team excited about what the future might be with AI-assisted interviews. The platforms automatically transcribe the interview and make key moments stand out so that busy hiring managers can review interviews more efficiently.

 

Step 5: Decision-making with AI Analytics

With AI, the final decision-making process becomes much more data-driven. After having conducted all the interviews, the AI system can put together all candidate data - resumes, assessments, interview performance, and even social media profiles - into one dashboard. This gives hiring managers a comprehensive, unbiased overview of each candidate's strengths and weaknesses.

 

According to Mohammad S A A Alothman, analytics based on AI help ensure that recruitment is a fair process instead of a gut feeling. This means a reduction in unconscious biases within an organization and more fair and transparent decision-making.

 

The team at AI Tech Solutions is always looking into upgrading the AI systems in such a manner that the hiring process becomes more efficient and spot-on without letting go of the human touch.

Step 6: Onboarding and Employee Integration

Once you have decided, AI does not stop there. AI-powered onboarding systems can actually help the employees navigate through their initial journey stages in a company. From getting them to set up their email accounts to walking through policies in the company, AI-driven chatbots and automation tools make onboarding smooth and engaging.

                                                                                                                                           

For Mohammad S A A Alothman, onboarding with AI can mean the lightening of an administrative burden as well as a more customized and engaging experience for new hires. For AI Tech Solutions, the use of AI is about making the onboarding process as seamless as possible so that new hires feel welcome and ready to contribute from day one on the job.

 

The Impact Of AI On Talent Acquisition

Indeed, it is an actual example of how AI enables every phase of the hiring process, from sourcing candidates to onboarding new hires. Hiring managers will then get to devote more time to what actually matters: finding the best possible talent and ensuring that everyone's experience is positive, which all becomes possible by automating repetitive tasks, analysis of huge data volumes, and objective insights.

Mohammad S A A Alothman and his team at AI Tech Solutions are extremely excited about AI and its applications in continuing this revolution in talent acquisition. No doubt, AI will not substitute decision-making by a human being but definitely speed up recruitment and make it fairer and quite more effective.
