According to new research by global talent acquisition and management firm, Alexander Mann Solutions, 96% of senior HR professionals believe that AI has the potential to enhance talent acquisition and retention. Yet 57% believe the innovation within their own organization is too slow.

These tools are not intended to eliminate the role of HR and recruitment professionals, they are designed to relieve them from repetitive and low value tasks that consume valuable time which could be best spent leveraging their interpersonal skills and engaging with employees and candidates. The key is to not seek out robotic and AI solutions simply for the sake of doing so.
