LinkedIn is using AI and machine learning to generate screening questions for active job postings. From a report: In a paper [PDF] published this week on the preprint server Arxiv.org, coauthors describe Job2Questions, a model deployed that helps recruiters quickly find applicants by reducing the need for manual screening. This isn’t just theoretical research — Job2Questions was briefly tested across millions of jobs by hiring managers and candidates on LinkedIn’s platform. The timing of Job2Questions’ deployment is fortuitous. Screening is a necessary evil — a LinkedIn study found that roughly 70% of manual phone screenings uncover missing basic applicant qualifications. But as the pandemic increasingly impacts traditional hiring processes, companies are adopting alternatives, with some showing a willingness to pilot AI and machine learning tools. Job2Questions is designed to reduce the time recruiters spend asking questions they should already have answers or exposes gaps candidates themselves can fill.
