C OV E R STO RY A dvanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) are moving to complement our work in many industries. Including Human Resources. These industry 4.0 concepts offer benefits like improved efficiency, quality of work, and reduced costs in the hiring and management of an organizations work force. Humans do an amazing job in terms of dealing with an ever shifting list of priorities, and making sense of the many nuances of interpersonal communication. However repetitive tasks and finding relevant information amongst thousands of data points is a job truly best suited for the machines. For HR professionals the advent of AI means hiring top candidates in weeks not months. It also can mean predicting if your best employees might be looking to leave; even before they’ve considered replying to that recruiter. We assist clients to hire the right candidates with our hiring platform backed by AI, ML and workforce analytics.

Their platform harnesses the power of AI, data analytics, machine learning, and advanced algorithms to optimize the 6 KPI’s of hiring. These include, quality of hire, cost to hire, time to hire, retention of hire, diversity of hire, and the candidate experience.

They enable a company to quickly hire the right candidates at scale, without bias. As an ISV of Microsoft, X0PA stores candidate data on secure Azure servers and is fully GDPR compliant. All of a client’s data is completely private, unless made visible to a X0PA employee or recruiting agency for collaboration. They provide a single place to source top talent through their AI sourcer and lean on millions of professional profiles to provide a predictive scoring index of a candidates CV relevancy, performance, and loyalty. In addition X0PA sports a self-learning mechanism where it learns and understands process from different recruiters to further improve accuracy. The highest ranked candidates can then be shortlisted, asked to record a video interview, schedule a meeting, and when approved even receive an offer. If left on full auto pilot X0PA’s advanced RPA capabilities can move a candidate through a hiring process like this automatically. However the platform is not completely self-aware and always asks the recruiter for input in an action oriented dashboard. X0PA is an advanced applicant tracking system, which uses various AI algorithms, Machine Learning, and workforce analytics to refine the hiring process. Through an open API they can also plug into a clients’ database and asses thousands of candidates to identify best fits in a fraction of the time a human would be able to do so. Moreover, instead of searching keywords, X0PA utilizes natural language processing (NLP). This technological leap significantly improves CV relevance matching of external candidates. It also facilitates in internal job rotation and succession planning. By combing AI to source and score candidates and RPA to automate repetitive tasks in the interview process X0PA ensures excellent candidate engagement leading to a positive employer brand experience.
