Human Resources (HR) professionals have to wear many hats. From recruitment, to handling employee performance, relations, training and benefits, to planning and maintaining administrative functions, HR management is not just limited to hiring anymore. With the role of HR becoming critical in supporting business, companies are increasingly looking to integrate technology into their HR operations to streamline their tasks. Seeing an opportunity, a slew of HR technology startups are building products using artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data analytics and blockchain to help enterprises enhance their business outcomes.
AI OVERHAULING HIRING PROCESS
Nitin Kumar signed up on several job portals in early 2020 while looking to switch jobs. What worked well for him was an AI-based platform Instahyre that threw up relevant listings which matched his credentials. “The platform listed tech roles suited to my skill set and from known companies, which was not the case with other portals,” said the Delhi-based software developer. Instahyre has developed a matchmaking algorithm that analyses millions of data points to find the job best suited for candidates using the platform.
The Delhi-based advanced hiring platform is streamlining recruitment--from discovery, to communication to engagement-of not just job seekers but also companies. Sarbojit Mallick, co-founder and CBO, said “Our platform is solving three key problems in the recruitment industry: high cost of hiring talent that often turns out to be unreliable, long hiring process and difficulty job seekers face in discovering the right job.”
