In the current scenario it is important for Talent Acquisitionists to remain abreast on the developments in the Recruitment fraternity as a whole as it drastically alters things as we know them to be. Lately there has been a lot of hype surrounding Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Augmentation and Machine Learning and its impact on the recruitment sphere. In order to find out if there’s some relevance to this we turned to our recruitment folks in our @SouricngAdda WhatsApp groups to give us some clarity and substance to this hype with the help of our regular discussions and the topic suggestion by one of our Mumbai group members Ritu stressed on, The Impact of AI on HR. The responses we received were insightful and got us pondering about things we wouldn’t normally think about unless stimulated to do some of our own thinking. Therefore, shared below is the discussion for your perusal for you to come to your own conclusions

The discussion highlighted some interesting insights in to what tasks could be managed by AI single handedly once programmed to execute the same so let’s get a sneak peek into the benefits we as recruiters stand to gain with AI as an assistant. Some are of the opinion that it can support us but not replace people as the HR core functions revolve around people with focus on people relations, their engagement, interactions and progression all need a human touch.

Nevertheless, the areas that we can expect AI to manage are streamlining candidate engagements, redundant tasks will be automated so recruiters can focus more on core activities which is HRM. Other tasks could include gathering information about market trends and current trends in compensation, candidate scarcity and pre-screening Talent prior to interview scheduling. It can assist us in pulling up profile information for a variety of roles from various sources in one go, thus reducing our costs and enabling us to function more efficiently and effectively with full attention given to the aspects that matter the most. So does this give you a general idea in to the areas that you can expect a lot of development?

Since we are on the subject of AI and its evolving role in Recruitment it brings us to think of another aspect that needs evaluating i.e. Do AI, ML and Robotic Recruiters like Vera pose a real threat to a Recruiter’s Career? A thorough understanding will give you broader insights into the role AI, ML, Automation, Augmentation and Robotic Recruiters will play in the recruitment sphere and prepare us for the future.

Being informed is only the first step but being abreast on the evolving trends in the Recruitment Industry is the next step and connecting with thought leaders within the recruitment fraternity is the way to achieve the objective so go ahead and
