How Vantage Uses AI in the Recruitment Process
Vantage makes use of several AI-enabled tools that aid us in the hiring process. These tools exclusively take the form of AI meeting notetakers, and the AI assistant in our Applicant Tracking System, Ashby. They allow us to record, organize and summarize the various details and data points we collect during the hiring process, without losing the context in which they were originally provided. Neither the AI meeting notetakers nor Ashby's AI assistant make decisions about your candidate status.
All hiring decisions at Vantage are made by a team of collaborative, hard-working, human beings. We might use AI to speed up your process and to help keep it organized, but ultimately who we invite to work at Vantage is a decision we only trust ourselves to make.
