AI-Driven Research in the Recruitment and Selection Process: Application of an AI Taxonomy With a Systematic Literature Review

  • A review of the literature on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the recruitment and selection process (RSP) was conducted, but no relevant studies were identified. While several reviews have focussed on AI in human resource management in general, none of these have examined the RSP in detail or employed an AI taxonomy for clustering. Consequently, we applied an AI taxonomy identified in the literature with the aim to identify the stages of the RSP in the focus of research and the algorithms mostly used. We conducted a systematic literature review underpinned by a concept matrix, complemented by a computational literature review (CLR), that employed natural language processing (NLP). The initial 4,579 studies were sourced from three databases and narrowed down to a total of 502. Our major findings indicate that the majority of studies were categorised under the stages “assessment & selection” and “processing incoming applications” in the RSP. The predominant algorithms in use pertain to the field of NLP and machine learning. The CLR emphasised the significance of ethics in AI research. While our study has expanded the general AI taxonomy by incorporating an ethical perspective and is one of the studies with the most articles used to reflect this topic, it is solely focussing on describing the past. Nevertheless, this article helps to align research on exploring and testing alternative approaches with those most frequently used.
