BASF embraces the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create application documents, as long as the content accurately reflects reality. A spokeswoman for the group stated that AI is a future technology and they want their applicants to be open to new technologies. It is not prohibited to use generative AI to create application documents at BASF. While there has been some systematic testing of application documents for AI use at BASF, there currently is no systematic review to determine the extent of AI use in these documents.
The company expects an increase in the use of AI in the future, although the application letter has a low significance in the selection process for training positions. BASF uses AI for evaluating application documents by analyzing CVs to identify words and phrases and categorize them into sections like personal data, professional experience, and skills. However, the final evaluation of applications is still done by humans.
A recent survey by the German Press Agency revealed that some large companies in Germany explicitly use AI in their recruitment processes. BASF is one such company that embraces new technology for streamlining their processes. It is evident that AI is gradually becoming a prominent tool in various industries, including human resources and recruitment.
In conclusion, the integration of AI in application processes is gaining traction, with companies like BASF leading the way in utilizing this technology. As organizations strive to enhance efficiency and accuracy in their recruitment processes, AI will continue to play a crucial role in shaping the future of talent acquisition.
