The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Recruitment and Employee Engagement in Human Resources

Abstract

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a significant shift in human resource (HR) practices, especially in recruitment and employee engagement. This paper explores the impact of artificial intelligence on these two key HR functions, focusing on the improvement of artificial intelligence in terms of performance, effectiveness, and personalization. AI tools, such as re-screening algorithms, candidate matching systems, and sentiment analysis platforms, are revolutionizing the recruitment process by reducing biases, streamlining recruitment, and improving the quality of selected candidates. In parallel, artificial intelligence is reshaping employee engagement through personal feedback mechanisms, predictive analytics, and sentiment analysis, ultimately improving job satisfaction, retention, and employee well-being. However, integrating artificial intelligence into human resources also poses significant challenges, including algorithm bias, privacy, and concerns about job transfers. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits, risks, and ethical considerations of the implementation of artificial intelligence in recruitment and employee engagement and concludes with recommendations for future research and practice. Addressing these aspects, the paper aims to provide a roadmap for HR professionals to benefit from artificial intelligence while ensuring ethical and responsible implementation.
