Within the next year, if you apply for a new job or a promotion it’s likely your application will initially be screened by an artificial intelligence (AI) tool.

It won’t be making the decision by itself. But it will be providing the recruiter or employer with key insights about your personality, skills and aptitude for the role, based on data from countless other sources such as interviews, assessments and social networks. It will rank you against other candidates, which could affect your chances at landing that role.
