THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TRANSFORMING RECRUITMENT PROCESSES: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in recruitment processes, redefining how organizations attract, evaluate, and hire talent. This study explores the multifaceted role of AI in recruitment, focusing on its potential to enhance efficiency, reduce biases, and improve candidate experiences. AI-powered tools, such as resume screening algorithms, chatbots for candidate interaction, and predictive analytics, offer significant advantages in identifying top talent swiftly and objectively. However, the integration of AI into recruitment is not without challenges. Issues such as algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, and the ethical implications of automated decision-making raise critical questions about fairness and transparency. Furthermore, the rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates continuous adaptation and upskilling for HR professionals.

This paper highlights both the opportunities and the challenges posed by AI in recruitment, drawing insights from recent advancements and case studies. It underscores the importance of a balanced approach that combines human judgment with AI-driven processes to ensure equitable and effective outcomes. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on leveraging AI responsibly in human resource management and provide practical recommendations for organizations aiming to harness AI’s potential while mitigating associated risks.
