The Applicability of Artificial Intelligence in Candidate Interviews in the Recruitment Process
Get PDFThis research paper examines the applicability of artificial intelligence (AI) in the recruitment and selection process, with a specific focus on the Interview phase. The study conducted qualitative interviews with 17 recruitment professionals, including hiring managers, recruiters, and HR executives, to gather their perspectives on AI adoption. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework was utilized as the theoretical model to guide the research.
The findings indicate that the recruitment professionals were generally receptive to using AI in various recruitment phases. However, when it came to the interview phase, there was a distinct lack of enthusiasm for AI adoption among the professionals. They expressed concerns about providing a better candidate experience and perceived AI-based interviews as a lack of commitment to candidates. As a result, regardless of the hiring volume or job group, the professionals were hesitant to integrate AI into the interview phase.
The research underscores the importance of carefully selecting the appropriate recruitment stage for integrating AI and addressing the concerns raised by recruitment and selection professionals. It highlights the need to consider the candidate's experience and maintain a sense of commitment throughout the recruitment process
Using Conjoint Analysis to Predict the Launch Price of a New Smartphone
Get PDFThis study aims to identify the pricing strategy used by a premium smartphone manufacturer when launching a new type by comparing actual price predictions with price predictions using a rating-based conjoint analysis method. The results of an analysis of 172 respondents from a university in Indonesia showed that the manufacturer use a combination of a skimming strategy, using product variants that are similar to types known to users beforehand, and a penetrating strategy through product variants that have never existed before. Analysis of respondents' evaluation of five smartphone attributes also shows that the feature that has the most part worth and the highest importance is network technology (5G or 4G) followed by internal memory capacity. The manufacturer in the US has set prices that reflect part worths that are in line with RBCA prediction. In contrast, the distributor in Indonesia has set highest importance on the number of cameras. Managerially, these findings can be used by other smartphone manufacturers and distributors to when setting prices for future new products based on customer values. Theoretically, these findings indicate a significant difference between the conjoint analysis results and the producers' decisions that must be explained in the following research
