I hear a lot about using AI more and more in the recruiting industry. I have been using it from time to time and probably should use it to make my blog better….mmm…maybe I will. I’ve noticed that AI is decent for improving a short bio about your candidate or similar. I’ve learned it is pretty bad at making a resume and creating notes that I want to send to a possible candidate or client. The biggest problem with AI is that it doesn’t necessarily always know its audience. I feel that is an extremely important next step it will need to overcome. Not sure I like the idea of an AI screening candidates. It may be able to look for keywords and such, but it didn’t notice that this candidate donates their time to working with animals at the local animal service. It just so happens, the hiring manager does this as well. This is just an example, although there are a lot of little things that a human can identify that an AI is not capable of at this time. Maybe in the future?

Recently, I’ve been playing around with AI chat assistants. I actually had Gemini and Meta Llama 3.2 chatting to each other for about 10 minutes. They got caught in a loop every now and then, so I would interject, although it worked well. Meta knew she was speaking to an AI. Gemini didn’t. I’ve tried a few other AI chat assistants and tried to push their boundaries. Some would give me a prompt and say that cannot go further. Meta AI actually kicked me out for 24 hours. What I discussed with Meta wasn’t obscene or vulgar.

Here’s my story: Someone called our business phone and I didn’t pick up in time. I naturally looked up the caller-id and decided to ask Meta AI to tell me who it was based on the number. She(I use a female voice) said she couldn’t do that. She’s a large language learning model right? That means she can learn. I thought I could teach her how to do this. I told her the website to use(peoplesearch.com), the number to type in and then I started reading the results. As soon as I started telling the name, age and address she shut me down. Oddly enough, this is public information. It would have been much more convenient to have her just tell me. I ended up calling the guy back. He dialed the wrong number, although, he owned a paving company. I asked him if he needed any help finding talent :)….

I’m adding a link to another recruiting blogger. I really like Mr. Savage. Killer name too:
