Screen and select candidates
How screen and select candidates are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
About 65% of the work in Screen and select candidates is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.
Why: Derived from the APQC lens 'Recruit, source, and select employees' and the process description involving evaluating candidates via interviews and tests. While assessing candidates involves direct human interaction (interviews), the bulk of screening and testing is heavily information-based and often conducted via digital tracking systems and assessments, placing this process squarely in the high-hybrid range.
