Background of the Study
Staff recruitment in universities is a critical process that determines the quality of education and research. Traditional recruitment methods, which often rely on manual screenings, are time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to human biases. AI-based recruitment systems can optimize this process by automating tasks such as resume screening, interview scheduling, and candidate evaluation. By analyzing a vast pool of data, AI models can assist in identifying the best candidates based on qualifications, experience, and alignment with the university’s needs. This study aims to optimize the staff recruitment process at Kano University of Science and Technology (KUST), Wudil, Kano State, using AI-driven solutions.
Statement of the Problem
The traditional recruitment process at KUST, Wudil, is often slow and subjective, leading to delays in hiring staff and the potential for bias in candidate selection. AI-based recruitment systems have the potential to speed up this process, reduce human bias, and improve the accuracy of candidate selection. However, there is limited research on the implementation of AI in the staff recruitment process within Nigerian higher education institutions.
Objectives of the Study
1. To design and implement an AI-based staff recruitment system at Kano University of Science and Technology.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of the AI-based system in improving the efficiency and fairness of the recruitment process.
3. To assess the impact of AI-based recruitment on the quality of staff hired at KUST.
Research Questions
1. How effective is the AI-based recruitment system in identifying the most suitable candidates for university staff positions?
2. How does the AI system compare to traditional recruitment methods in terms of efficiency and fairness?
3. What impact does the AI-based recruitment system have on the quality of staff hired at Kano University of Science and Technology?
Research Hypotheses
1. The AI-based recruitment system will significantly improve the efficiency of the recruitment process at KUST.
2. The AI-based system will reduce biases and ensure a more objective selection of candidates.
3. The quality of staff hired through the AI-based recruitment system will be higher compared to the traditional recruitment process.
Significance of the Study
This study will demonstrate the potential benefits of AI in optimizing recruitment processes, contributing to the development of a more efficient and fair recruitment system at KUST. The findings could influence the broader adoption of AI-driven recruitment systems in Nigerian higher education institutions.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the optimization of the staff recruitment process at Kano University of Science and Technology. Limitations include challenges in integrating AI systems with existing recruitment procedures and potential resistance to change from human resources personnel.
