AI candidate summaries
This article provides an introduction and overview of the AI candidate summaries feature. It covers where they can be found, when we generate and update them, how to use them and limitations to keep in mind.
Current feature status: Beta on selected accounts
Where they can be found
The AI generated candidate summaries are found on the candidate profile page below the Address field:
They can also be reviewed in the preview pop-up in the candidate list:
How to use them
The summary tool has been designed to give you a quick overview of the candidate and provide some key points regarding their skills, experience and achievements.
The goal is to help you identify which candidates you should prioritise reviewing in more detail.
Like any AI tool, it has its limitations and should be used with these in mind.
When they are created
Following activation of the feature on your account, AI summaries will be generated for any new candidates that are added. Summaries will not be generated for any of the pre-existing candidate data you have in your idibu account.
When they are updated
If an existing candidate applies to a new advert and appears as an applicant, they will not have a summary generated by default. We will only generate a summary for them if they have applied with an updated CV/Resume.
Summaries that have previously been generated on candidate records will also be updated if the candidate applies with an updated CV/Resume.
Limitations
- Like any AI model, the summary generation will be based on the quality of the data it is fed, but that not withstanding we expect that it may still be prone to hallucination at times.
- The summary generation is processed via a queue, so the speed at which summaries appear will depend upon the volume of candidates being processed into your account at any given time.
- The summary will provide an overview that leans more toward strengths, and won't provide comment on aspects of their experience that as a recruiter you may evaluate as counter to the candidate's strengths.
- Sometimes it might not be possible for a summary to generate from the CV/Resume.
