Why Humans Fail at Candidate Evaluation And How AI Creates Balance
Had a rough morning? That coffee spill, traffic jam, or heated meeting might be secretly influencing your hiring decisions. Discover why human emotion and AI logic need each other in modern recruitment.
Picture this: You're sifting through resumes after a challenging morning. Your favorite coffee shop was closed, you hit every red light, and your inbox is overflowing. Now you're faced with evaluating candidates who could shape your company's future. Think these factors don't affect your judgment? Think again. Human decision-making in recruitment is far more vulnerable to external influences than we'd like to admit.
