Abstract

Artificial intelligence is increasingly deployed in human resource management to enhance candidate selection and streamline recruitment processes. However, significant questions remain regarding the reliability and consistency of artificial intelligence-driven interview systems compared to traditional human resource management evaluations. Given the potential for intentional or unintentional bias in AI algorithms, there is a critical need to evaluate whether electronic interview systems produce candidate selections comparable to those of human evaluators when assessing a shared applicant pool.
This research employs a comparative evaluation methodology to assess multiple electronic human resource information systems (HRIS) and their effectiveness in candidate selection. A comparison of the top 10 selections generated by various AI-driven interview platforms with those made by experienced human resource managers was conducted using a standardized pool of candidates. I examine the degree of overlap in candidate rankings and analyze patterns of disparity that may indicate systemic bias or inconsistency in artificial intelligence algorithms.
