The digitalization phase in human resources (HR) has made significant progress, particularly in the recruitment process, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). In this phase creating a loss of value for the organization, to select the most suitable option for the job among hundreds or even thousands of applications, the process of calling candidates and placing the suitable candidates into open positions within the organization as a result of the evaluations can be carried out with AI technology without losing both cost and time.
