Does AI in recruiting actually lead to better hires?
That’s the question Capterra set out to answer, and we’re proud to have contributed to the conversation.
In Capterra’s new report, Does AI in Recruiting Software Make Better Hires?, 10 recruiting software providers shared how AI is being used today, what outcomes they’re seeing, and where human judgment still matters.
A few takeaways:
-AI is already mainstream in recruiting, especially resume screening and candidate matching.
-8 in 10 providers report faster time-to-hire and recruiter time savings.
-Quality of hire remains the bigger challenge with only 4 in 10 report measurable improvement.
=Human oversight still matters. AI can surface better signals and reduce repetitive work, but people remain central to hiring decisions.
The next question for AI in recruiting isn’t just “How fast can we hire?” It’s “How can AI help us consistently improve quality of hire?”
