Nearly half of hiring professionals, 47%, use artificial intelligence, according to a survey by CareerBuilder and the Morning Consult. The top AI applications in hiring include screening candidates, scheduling interviews, analyzing applications, employee onboarding and sourcing.

“AI in hiring is now mainstream and here to stay,” CareerBuilder Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer Kristin Kelley said in a press release. “Employers should consider adopting AI technology to stay competitive.”

Employers should also start formalizing AI policies and guidelines as well as think through roles so that human team members are delivering the most impact, Kelley said.

Other findings included:

  • The majority, 86%, felt more training and education on AI is needed.
  • Ethical considerations such as bias and privacy are important to 92% of respondents. Strategies for addressing bias included fairness-aware algorithms and human oversight.
  • HR teams will become smaller and more specialized with AI in place, according to 56% of respondents.

The survey included 400 hiring decision-makers.
