Impact of AI and Automation on HR Recruitment Practices

Introduction Human Resource (HR) recruitment serves as the foundation of organizational success, as it directly influences the quality of talent entering a company. Traditionally, recruitment processes involved manual resume screening, physical interviews, reference checks, and paperwork, making hiring time-consuming, subjective, and dependent on human judgment. However, with technological advancements, particularly in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation, recruitment practices are undergoing a major transformation. AI-powered tools—such as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), predictive analytics, machine learning-based screening software, chatbots, and automated skill assessments—now support HR professionals in attracting, filtering, and selecting talent. These tools help organization make faster, data-backed decisions while reducing biases and administrative workload. The study explores how AI and automation are reshaping HR recruitment practices, what benefits and limitations they bring, and how HR professionals and job seekers perceive their role in the hiring process.
