Abstract

There has been an emerging trend of utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies within the business environment throughout the last two decades. This paper presents the position of the Human Resources recruitment and selection, an aspect of HR management, regarding incorporating AI solutions. The paper addresses the following questions: To what extent will humans use AI to hire humans? To what extent and how will AI affect recruiters’ jobs? What are organizations’ and HR managers’ roles in this transformation? To this end, a set of literature and proposed models as well as examples of most commonly used temporary artificial intelligence solutions for the acquisition of Human resources have been reviewed to analyze and understand the previous contribution. It has been concluded that AI provides promising solutions for recruiters to optimize talent acquisition by taking over time-consuming repetitive tasks such as sourcing and screening applicants, to improve the quality of the hiring process and neutralize human biases. Augmented intelligence will be used widely and increasingly to produce better and more effective results; as a result, routine administrative jobs will be replaced by smart AI technologies and will gradually disappear.
