Across all the functional areas of an organization, machine intelligence is being applied widely. This leads to cost saving, increasing efficiency and taking an organization towards a sustainable future. Automation and machine intelligence in form of chat bots are trending these days.


Recruitment Chatbots provide convenience, decision support and personalization. Organizations can provide better customer services through interactive bots. When you want to book a cab and you want to compare the fares of various taxi apps available you don’t have to look at multiple applications for that anymore you just have to ask your chat bot to do it for you.

From providing proactive customer services to suggesting you good places to hang out according to your needs artificial intelligence can do it all. Similarly, chatbot technology can also be used in recruitment processes. For example, following tasks in the recruitment process can be performed with a combination of chatbots and other cognitive technologies.
