AI is transforming talent acquisition and human resources. The recruitment software market is rapidly growing and changing as new tools emerge that use AI. AI can help with tasks like scheduling interviews, screening candidates through gamified assessments or analyzing video interviews to assess facial expressions. It is also being used for chatbots that can interact with candidates, personality prediction, personalized learning recommendations, and intelligent onboarding to boost retention. Machine learning powered by SAP Leonardo can provide insights from talent acquisition data to help make job postings more appealing and determine why employees may leave.

• based on a taxonomy
by renowned
psychologist Paul
Ekman, who created
an “atlas of emotions”
• 10,000 facial
expressions
• Can flit by in 1/25 of a
second.
• Easier to identify and
correlate the emotions

• assesses whether a
candidate uses active
verbs, such as “can” and
“will” or relies on
negative words like
“can’t” or “have to.”
• checks for voice
inflections and
thousands of micro-
expressions that convey
a range of emotion.
