Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Recruitment and Selection Process
Subject area: Management and Commerce · Area of research: Human Resource
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is significantly reshaping how organizations approach recruitment and selection by introducing advanced tools that simplify tasks like resume screening, interview coordination, and candidate communication. This research investigates the viewpoints of hiring professionals from multiple industries regarding AI?s role and effectiveness in the recruitment process. Based on survey responses from 30 participants, the findings indicate that while AI is widely trusted to improve operational efficiency, concerns remain about its ability to assess human attributes such as emotional intelligence and cultural alignment. The study highlights a clear preference for hybrid recruitment strategies that combine the speed and accuracy of AI with the judgment and empathy of human recruiters to promote fairness and better hiring decisions.
