How Federal Bank is using artificial intelligence to hire

Private-sector lender Federal Bank is now using artificial intelligence as a tool to hire officers during campus recruitments. Using an AI-application called FedRecruit, the bank wants to shed the image of a traditional bank and be more millennial-friendly. In an interaction with Moneycontrol, Ajith Kumar K K, EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer of Federal Bank said that the bank is trying to creating a ‘wow’ factor for potential candidates. “Youngsters are technologically advanced in their level of knowledge. Our new application ensures that there is no paper involved in recruiting. Students just need to download the app and all the processes happens through that,” he added. Once the application is downloaded, the student is guided through a set of processes that help streamline the hiring process. The bank is looking to hire about 650 students (as officers) by March 2020 through this application. These students will join the bank between May and July 2020.

HireVue's 'Human Potential Intelligence' Revolutionizes Recruitment

HireVue | October 09, 2023

A new category for recruiting has been introduced by HireVue, the industry innovator and leader in human potential intelligence. This represents a departure from traditional hiring procedures and the introduction of a cutting-edge paradigm that evaluates candidates based on their expertise. HireVue upends conventional wisdom in order to put the emphasis precisely where it belongs: on human potential. According to HireVue, conventional hiring practices are ineffective and out of date, a belief shared by employees and job seekers globally. More than 3000 people were surveyed for the recent HireVue Hiring Experience Report 2023, and the results revealed widespread dissatisfaction with the hiring environment. Lack of feedback (40%), reliance on resume evaluations rather than skill and potential assessments (30%), the necessity of more simplified procedures to accommodate changing requirements (37%), and the prevalence of erroneous job descriptions (31%), are all sources of aggravation. Traditional "Rearview Recruiting," which bases recruiting decisions on resumes and qualifications, is based on outdated procedures. By relying largely on profile scraping and resume screening, Legacy HR Tech exacerbates the problem. Focusing just on a person's past accomplishments rather than their potential causes blind spots and makes it more difficult to identify future skill requirements. The soulless, laborious, opaque, too drawn-out, limited communication, and lack of feedback in this old approach further irritate candidates. A fresh approach is provided by HireVue's Human Potential Intelligence, which goes beyond customary methods and puts fairness and impartiality first. It eliminates guessing and replaces it with a deep understanding of each candidate by utilizing AI to evaluate individuals based on potential, abilities, and interests. This innovative strategy positions HR as a strategic talent incubator rather than just a cost center, ushering in a new era in which the hiring process is transformed into a human journey of empowerment and progress for all parties. Founder & Chief Analyst at Aptitude Research, Madeline Laurano, said, HireVue's introduction of 'Human Potential Intelligence' represents a groundbreaking shift in the traditional landscape of hiring. Relying on the constructs of the past like job descriptions and resumes falls short in identifying potential. Our innovative approach brings together both the art and science of hiring by design. It’s supported by their industry-leading AI and stands out as a beacon of change. By focusing on the potential and skills of the humans in the hiring process, this new category redefines hiring criteria and opens doors for companies to hire for the needs of today and ensure they have the right talent for the future. [Source: GlobeNewswire] The introduction of Find My Fit, a pioneering service leveraging HireVue's experience in AI-driven personnel assessment, is at the vanguard of this transformational plan. This program fills the gap between job seekers and openings by enabling them to find positions that match their abilities, passions, and untapped potential. Precision job matching is at the core of the Find My Fit program, ensuring that candidates are not only pointed in the direction of open positions but also to roles that are actually compatible with their individual abilities and potential. This strategy improves candidates' overall job-search experiences while also extending their horizons. The Find My Fit Application effectively addresses key challenges in today's competitive job market. It empowers job seekers who often struggle to identify suitable roles or doubt their qualifications. With this application, candidates can discover positions that match their skills and potential, expanding their job search possibilities. In a job market marked by frequent career changes, candidates often feel uncertain. The application offers guidance by directing individuals toward roles where they can succeed, even with differing prior experiences. Conventional hiring methods typically focus on resumes and qualifications, often overlooking candidates' true potential. However, the Find My Fit Application shifts the focus towards matching candidates with jobs based on their skills and interests, breaking free from rigid job title requirements. Additionally, it fosters inclusion by suggesting roles tailored to candidates' interests. This encourages individuals to consider positions they may not have explored otherwise, contributing to increased diversity. About HireVue HireVue’s expertise in science, artificial intelligence, and data, helps employers get potential candidates to designations where they can succeed, while also pointing them in the direction of the future. HireVue has hosted more than 70 million video interviews and 200 million chat-based candidate engagements for over 1,150 trailblazing clients throughout the world, including more than 60% Fortune 100 companies.
