EVALUATING CANDIDATE PERSPECTIVES ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HIRING AND SELECTION PROCESSES

Abstract

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recruitment has transformed traditional hiring 
methods by introducing automation, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. While 
organizations emphasize the operational benefits of AI tools such as resume screening systems, 
chatbots, video interview analytics, and predictive assessments, the perception of job applicants 
remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate candidate perspectives on AI-enabled 
recruitment processes, focusing on their trust, fairness concerns, acceptance levels, and overall 
experience. Preliminary findings from secondary literature suggest that while job seekers 
appreciate speed and accessibility, they also express concerns regarding transparency, bias, and 
lack of human interaction. The study highlights the need to balance technological innovation with 
ethical and candidate-friendly recruitment practices.
