AI Streamlines HR, Recruiting, and Professional Development
While many people worry that AI will replace the human workforce, the reality is AI can be a positive assistant rather than a threat. AI software utilizes machine learning to reduce the need for people to handle repetitive tasks. These automated processes create more time for HR executives to focus on advanced strategy for the business as a whole, rather than mundane tasks. Utilizing AI in HR will create a more streamlined recruiting process. For example, AI can scan for relevant keywords in applications and weed out hundreds of applicants based on set criteria — before the hiring team even looks at a single resume. Advanced learning management systems will also propel learning and development into the future by implementing cognitive decision support, allowing for cutting-edge training opportunities like instant feedback on an employee's mood and tone following a client call. — Matt Thomas, President, WorkSmart Systems Recruiter.com Magazine
