South Africa – Machine learning could assist recruitment (APSO)

Machine learning, giving computers the ability to learn without explicity being programmed could assist in profiling and evaluating candidates more quickly, according to information from the Federation of African Professional Staffing Organisations. “With this in mind, it is important to note that even with further technological integration, human recruiters would still be a vital and complementary part of the process,” APSO CEO Jacqui Ford said. “Their time, however, would no longer be spent on time-consuming and repetitive ‘grunt work’, but rather on interacting and engaging with clients and potential recruits.”
