Abstract

The artificial intelligence thing is moving fast and it is changing the way companies hire people. They can now use machines to look at resumes and pick the candidates. The old way of hiring people takes a lot of time. People can be biased. It is also hard to deal with a lot of applications. This study is about using intelligence to make a system that can look at resumes and rank candidates. The goal is to make hiring people more efficient and accurate, for companies. Artificial intelligence can really help with this. The new system uses Natural Language Processing and machine learning to look at information from resumes. It looks for things like skills and experience and education. It also looks at what the person's good at and turns all this information into a format that is easy to understand. Then it uses a kind of machine learning that combines a few different methods like Naïve Bayes and Decision Tree and Random Forest to figure out which candidates are the best, for the job. The study uses a lot of resumes and job descriptions to teach and test the model. They use techniques to figure out how well the skills match, how much experience someone has and if they are qualified, for the job. This way of doing things is better because it uses the things about many different methods and helps people make better decisions when they are hiring. The results show that this system really helps cut down the time it takes to look at resumes and it also helps pick the people more often. It is also fairer because it uses rules that're not biased. The system that ranks people helps the people who are hiring find the candidates quickly. This study helps with using intelligence to hire people by giving companies a way to quickly and easily sort through resumes and rank candidates that is going to work for big organizations.

Full Article/Conclusion

This study is about using Artificial Intelligence to help with screening resumes and ranking candidates. The people who did the study found out that using Natural Language Processing with machine learning algorithms makes the recruitment process more efficient, accurate and reliable. The old way of screening resumes takes a lot of time. Can be unfair but the new system is automated and objective. The study shows that things like skill match, experience, education, certifications and Artificial Intelligence skills are very important when deciding if a candidate is suitable. Skill match and Artificial Intelligence skills are the important because companies need people who are good with technology. The hybrid machine learning model, the Random Forest algorithm was very accurate and good at handling complex recruitment data. The new system helps companies move from hiring to automated hiring. Recruiters can use data to find the candidates save time and make better hiring decisions. The system is also fair and transparent because it reduces bias and uses the same criteria to evaluate everyone. In conclusion using Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and hybrid machine learning techniques is a way to solve modern recruitment problems. The study helps the field of Artificial Intelligence in Human Resources by presenting a framework, for automated resume screening and candidate ranking. Companies should use these kinds of systems to make their recruitment process better find the talent and stay ahead in the digital age.
