Tired of looking for work? Ask this bot

Put a bot in your life.Fans of 'Blade Runner', 'Artificial Intelligence' or 'Metropolis' attend with our mouths open to the incredible news that, almost daily, presents us with artificial intelligence.Physical robots is an increasingly present reality, but the use of conversational bots, associated with the different Internet tools, is beginning to become something everyday.If they are bots that serve everything... Even to find us work .

the bot that does it all


Today we want to introduce one of the bots that is causing more fury on Facebook.In April of last year, at its annual convention, Zuckerberg was in charge of announcing this new revolution.Virtual assistants that different companies could use to communicate with users and offer a direct service. Conversational bots so that humans never we would feel alone again.


And then there is Job Pal.The Facebook Messenger has been populated by bots that develop different functions; how to find a job, a question that is not less precisely. Search for employment is one of the population's maximum concerns, and the Internet tools regarding the facilitation of this search have increased thanks to the digital era.Webs to look for employment, apps to upload our curriculum.But, how about an artificial intelligence that supplies the most complicated steps of the process?


Tired of looking for work? Ask this bot


It's called Job Pal and, as we say, was born for Messenger .Although, currently, we can also use it with other tools such as Skype, Slack or Telegram.And it is a revolution in the search for employment, because we just have to start a conversation with him so that Job Pal delimits that idea post he is waiting for us.


Luc Dudler is the creator of this bot and he has explained its qualities: « It is a robot focused on the job search and that offers recruiters a first screen between appropriate and inappropriate candidates «.That is to say, we speak of an artificial intelligence that makes those first job interviews in which many candidates fall because they do not meet the desired profile.And that selects a group of people who do suited to what the company is looking for.In short, it is useful if it seems a priori.Well, for companies looking for workers it can be a simple way to speed up the process .


Meeting Job Pal


Starting to chat with Job Pal can't be easier.We just need to go to Facebook Messenger and say hello.The bot is set to ask us what kind of work we are looking for and in what city .An initial questions which serve to narrow down the possibilities.Then, he throws us a series of questions to get to know our profile.They are very similar questions about the job interviews, such as “What has been your most rewarding work experience?” or “What are the competencies you most admire? ”In addition, we request some personal information , such as our email.


What does Job Pal do with that information we provide? Surely, to the extent that you can do it, check that the data we have provided you, about ourselves and our curriculum, are true.In addition is responsible for complementing them with other information that you can find thanks to those Two words that dominate everything: Big Data.


Tired of looking for work? Ask this bot


If Job Pal does not find any offer for us, he asks us to change some of the premises that we have marked, and all with a correct cordiality, because this is one of the key points of the bots. Talk to us as if they were a friend more and they make courtesy and education their flag.It is too much that the netiquette abounds on the net, even if it is at the hands of artificial intelligences.The certainty on the part of the consumer of that you will always receive the best possible treatment is a must for users to lose the fear they may have to relate to companies and companies through these instruments.


The importance of artificial intelligence


The bots have gone from being a curious novelty to becoming an unmissable trend in the world of digital.For companies, who have found in the online marketing an intense universe in which to live, having these bots can rid of many headaches. Customer service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year .An immediate and exquisitely cordial connection.And effective? Artificial intelligence is, for the moment, with certain limitations, such as, basically, its lack of humanity .People like to relate to others like us, who are able to understand us and put on our skin .


Can bots achieve this? That is a debate that science fiction has been considering since the word robot was invented.Today, bots have to polish certain parts of their behavior to meet the specific needs of consumers.But if we attend to where we were five years ago and where we are now, we see an unstoppable evolution that makes us fantasize about the overwhelming news that await us in the future .


More bots and more work


The case of Job Pal is not the only one in which the world of work and that of the bots shake hands.In fact, there are other curious cases to consider.Like what happened to Robert Coomps.American decided to look for work in a peculiar way.I develop a bot that will send resumes and cover letters to a number of companies that I had previously analyzed through the study of Big Data.Actually, the bot sent the applications and Coomps too, which led to a frustrating conclusion for the human being.The bot's mail received more favorable responses than Coomps's.


Tired of looking for work? Ask this bot


In a similar line, we have the case of Elizabeth Nieves.Tired of looking for work, she has used a bot to pass the interviews through her .This is a Facebook Messenger bot to which she has called ' HireEliBot '.The use of this software to interview your potential bosses is an original initiative that will undoubtedly attract the attention of more than one.


The large social network to look for work LinkedIn also uses chatbots to develop its functions.Since January, it has incorporated these conversational programs that serve to boost the classic recruitment processes.In the case of users, these virtual assistants they ask them questions for oriental companies and offers that best meet their demands.


We also have the case of bots that serve to motivate workers and make their tasks easier .They are known as ChatOps, which operate in apps such as Slack or HipChat.They can not only provide comments Distended at a given time, but they serve to store the information that the worker may need and even used to translate texts.They have data on the work of the different areas and can be consulted at any time.Their usefulness goes beyond what you could imagine at first.


The bots will mark the future of social relations, yes, but in our present they already represent a more than interesting presence in areas as specific as the labor market.We are looking forward to seeing your next step.
