Abstract

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized all the management functions across the globe. AI has touched all aspects of management through automation and robotization by substituting human beings at the workplaces with greater efficiency and lower costs. Most of the repetitive and standardized jobs and some of the highly specialized jobs are now being performed by machines powered by AI. Recruitment and selection function, which is quite critical for the success of organizations, has also been significantly disrupted by AI. Now, a good number of small, medium, and large companies are using AI for staffing. Some of the finest AI-driven tools for managing the entire hiring process are available and being adopted rapidly. This research paper is a humble attempt at examining how AI-powered hiring is changing the traditional recruitment and selection processes. Besides, concerns of various stakeholders have also been discussed in the paper.
