Russian companies have started using AI in employee recruitment

In Russia, artificial intelligence has begun to be used in the selection of candidates — today 5% of companies are implementing neural networks systematically, integrating them into key business processes, the press service of "Avito Rabota" told Izvestia.

"People will stop performing routine operations and start training robotic assistants"

"Many companies have already started testing and using AI to solve individual tasks, such as automating candidate filtering or compiling preliminary lists of applicants," the company noted.

They added that AI recruiting services are most effective in areas with massive regular hiring: retail, logistics, manufacturing, telecommunications (call centers), the banking sector and HoReCa (hotel and restaurant business). For example, Pulse (the Sber Group of companies), Kaspersky Lab, and Yandex have already partially implemented such solutions.

AI solutions help both HR specialists, allowing them to significantly reduce the time spent on analyzing databases and selecting a suitable candidate, as well as job seekers, making the employment process more accessible and transparent, MTS AI believes.

Today, the company is developing AI agents for recruitment, a virtual HR specialist who will help optimize hiring, adaptation and retention of employees, the company's press service noted.

The use of neural networks in personnel selection is a logical step in the development of HR technologies. This approach is especially relevant for large organizations where thousands of applications have to be processed, and for areas where it is important to quickly find specialists with rare competencies, said Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications, federal coordinator of the Digital Russia party project.
