The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Human Resource Recruitment and Selection
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the recruitment and selection process in Indian organizations. As technology continues to evolve, the role of AI in Human Resources has moved from being experimental to becoming an operational necessity, particularly in talent acquisition. AI is now used for resume screening, candidate sourcing, chatbot interviews, and even personality assessments. The study adopts a mixed-methods research design involving primary data collected from 108 HR professionals across industries, supplemented by secondary sources such as industry reports and academic literature. Key findings indicate that AI adoption leads to a 38% reduction in average time-to-hire, a 22% cost saving, and a reported improvement in quality of hire. However, concerns around algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, and over-reliance on technology were also highlighted. The analysis supports the argument that while AI enhances operational efficiency, the human element remains indispensable for cultural and behavioral assessments. The study concludes by recommending a hybrid recruitment strategy, combining AI-driven automation with human intuition and ethical oversight. Future research may explore AI?s long-term influence on employee retention and diversity in Indian workplaces.
