AI is transforming recruitment processes. However, the quality of a recruitment decision does not only depend on algorithmic matching. It also relies on intuition, culture, and human discernment.
Automated matching tools promise to reduce recruitment time and costs. But numerous studies warn: algorithms sometimes reproduce existing biases. Humans remain essential to evaluate motivation, ethics, and adaptability.
In a market often marked by training gaps and atypical career paths, human intelligence is crucial to detect hidden potential. Some Moroccan and Ghanaian companies are adopting a hybrid approach: AI for pre-selection, human committees for final decisions.
Best practices:
- Use AI as a filter, never as a judge,
- Diversify recruitment panels to limit biases,
- Integrate practical tests and case studies,
- Value potential as much as experience.
Recruitment is about betting on the future. And no algorithm, on its own, can capture the full complexity of human nature.
