Which is better ? AI Resume Match or Human Searching ????

We have been as Recruiters using searches using strings,operators,names,location,companies for our sourcing practices.

With wide spread of ATS software or third party software to reduce our
load of searching resumes and going downtime in getting matching/to be matched resumes by this softwares.

Is it Man Vs Machine kind of approach going on ...
 Does it benefit or doom and secondly questions are they really 100% match correct-still the definition of 100% accuracy is not been defined yet ,but it happens it certain times not always.I have been able to find key points where AI goes high or certain times AI is not so good..

Let start here on basics

A software doesn't think on it own .let say for example a easy skill
"C++ Developer".A ATS will take this two words gives search results of 10,000.
But if it like this a role of "Argus Clinical Trial Manager",it would give resumes of 5000 with like this

1) A person working on Argus tool
2) A Manager working on clinical department
3) Some doctors/technicians
4) Few resumes matching on this skill

So all together you get 5000 resumes ..This is what is AI does.This is an recent example which i m showing ,it was fighting between me and ATS
I can't conclude saying ,ATS is not really worth,but it is worth if we and ATS go hand and in hand ,they are some easy junkies recruiters make their life easy like saving search strings in ATS which works for 24 hrs and throw resumes ,in this any recruiter out of his luck or God's will get valid profiles and closes the day saying "I'm top notch recruiter" and i bless you all with my strengths....
   In my early days of my recruitment career, i have seen recruiters closing positions like this and company looks at him as GOD of recruitment,i used to wonder how these guys done,ya agreed it is smart way of recruitment but it is a way of  laziness on recruiters they can't help other recruiters when they face challenge or experiement with search strings,

 All these things had made to write this blog for recruiters.I'm happy to you all the recruiters who have been supporting me on this blog and i feel i have some space in heaven because this blog has helped some recruiters too...  :)

 A valid point here is Matching resumes is equally fraught with issues. Two candidates of similar skills, experience, and capability often have very different resumes. After all – the people we are looking to hire are not professional resume writers, nor should we expect them to be. Experienced sourcers and recruiters can “read between the lines” using cognitive processes and interpet resumes for skills, experience, and capabilities that are not explicitly mentioned in the resumes. This is something that an AI matching application may claim to do, but is hard pressed to prove. Let’s remember – AI matching apps can only work with text they are given – both the example resume or job description and the resumes it searches for. Although the people who program these applications can draw relation between multiple words/terms that can represent the same thing, they cannot possibly account for the unpredictable variety of ways in which a person can express – explicitly or implicitly – skills, experience, and capability.

This is what i said above with an example .

But one thing you should always keep in mind is that that all of these vendors with AI matching engines are SELLING you a product. They know that creating effective Boolean search strings can be hard to learn so they want to sell their solution as something that relieves sourcers and recruiters of having to run searches to make matches.

In my opinion, an ideal solution for most staffing organizations would include a resume/candidate database/ATS with BOTH a fully configurable search interface that supports full Boolean logic and ideally extended Boolean (with at the very least configurable proximity and variable term weighting), AND an AI matching engine – not one at the expense of the other. AI resume and job matching is great, but it is not a magical solution that replaces the human cognition of talented sourcers and recruiters. While AI matching apps may help junior recruiters, or those people who simply aren’t “wired” to run Boolean searches, it is not something anyone or any staffing organization should trust with making all of their matches. That would be scary!


This are all my views on AI and Human ,i may be right not right too ,do share your experiences on this which helps recruiters as whole .....

How are we utilizing Reference as part of Recruitment

We all take /use references at every point of our recruitment cycle, not mandatory some times reference works most times reference may not be suitable on the requirements we handle.. But we always keep it aside , one option is try to connect them on LinkedIn  and keep them share your opportunities to them or message them on LinkedIn when possible .. i always use it for niche skills hiring /Leadership hiring.... Please dont expect immediate results but once you get profile you dont need to worry that he/she will join and not to worry about caliber of the  profile as he /she will recommend the person he is trust worthy  and on the disclaimer sense some people wont join due to valid or genuine reasons that you could always write too.. When doing Background checks, that is huge pool of data we miss , is better to take details of their reporting managers and maintain separate pool , it is not wrong but wise way of working through challenging positions it sure to help .That is huge s

Internet Sourcing Technique -Flip Search Technique

Internet Sourcing Techniques The search strings for each of these search engines will vary and therefore to maximize your search please do read the tutorials in advance from the respective search engines site. What techniques to use and when and under what circumstances to use will depend on how well you master each techniques. To achieve optimum success one must also have a fairly good idea about the recruitment industry, the specific job requirement, the key words within the requirement and also differentiate the "mandatory skills" from "good to have skills." Some of the most common internet search techniques are as given below. X-RAYING: A method of looking inside a specific web site to find what's there. Using this technique, recruiters can find documents and web pages that aren't directly accessible via links on the main public home page. When you 'x-ray' a website, you effectively get to examine every document that resides there so long as they

SIMPLE BOOLEAN SEARCH FOR TECHNICAL RECRUITERS

This Boolean search strategies is being offered for free to enable technical recruiters to more effectively mine the Monster resume databases. CAUTION: The concepts below also apply to other databases, but NOT all Boolean search engines were created equally. Some require that AND/OR be in all caps (Monster do not). Some don’t even use ‘and/or’, but use ‘+/-’ instead. I need to really stress this point, I. THE ROLE OF PARENTHESES IN BOOLEAN SEARCHES It makes a difference how you group the numbers below by putting in parentheses: 1+2x2=$5 million? $6 million? 1+(2x2)=5 Here we did the “multiply” first, and then the “add”…..Multiply is similar to “and” (1+2)x2=6 Here we did the “add” first, and then the multiply. ”Addition” is similar to “or” Parentheses will help us group search terms for effective searches II. EXAMPLES OF WRITING A BOOLEAN EQUATION JavaScript or C++ and SQL ?????, without parentheses or a ‘rule’ that says do “and” first & then “or”, or vice versa JavaScri
