Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic in nearly every industry and for good reason—the potential for efficiency and cost-savings while taking menial or repetitive tasks off the plates of human workers can seem too potent to ignore. While the human touch will and should always be a key component in the world of human resources, there may be several different ways in which the use of powerful AI technologies can help support HR and HR teams.

Human resource departments can leverage AI in various ways to help streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and improve overall efficiency. Here are seven different ways in which HR departments can harness the power of AI.

As businesses face a growing talent crunch, traditional hiring methods are proving insufficient. This shortage, projected to lead to trillions in unrealized global revenues by 2030, prompts companies to rethink their workforce strategies. The convergence of AI advancements and hybrid work models allows organizations to access previously out-of-reach global talent pools. By embracing globalization and technology, businesses are addressing skills gaps and positioning themselves for sustainable growth in a complex labor market.
