Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various industries, and its impact on human resource management practices, particularly in the area of employee recruitment and selection processes, is increasingly significant. This thesis explores the implications of AI on these HR functions, aiming to analyze the benefits, challenges, and potential outcomes of integrating AI technologies in recruitment and selection processes. The study investigates how AI tools such as machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and predictive analytics are transforming traditional HR practices and reshaping the recruitment landscape. The research methodology employed in this study includes a comprehensive literature review of existing studies on AI in HR management, an analysis of case studies showcasing AI implementation in recruitment processes, and primary data collection through surveys and interviews with HR professionals and AI experts. The data gathered is analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods to identify trends, patterns, and insights into the impact of AI on employee recruitment and selection processes. The findings of this study reveal that AI technologies have the potential to streamline and enhance recruitment processes by automating repetitive tasks, improving candidate sourcing and screening, and enhancing decision-making through data-driven insights. However, challenges such as bias in AI algorithms, data privacy concerns, and the need for upskilling HR professionals to leverage AI tools effectively are also identified. The discussion section critically examines the implications of the research findings, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI in HR practices. Recommendations for HR practitioners and organizations looking to adopt AI technologies in recruitment and selection processes are provided, emphasizing the importance of ethical AI usage, continuous learning, and strategic alignment with organizational goals. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the impact of AI on HR management, specifically in the context of employee recruitment and selection processes. By highlighting the potential benefits and challenges of AI integration in HR practices, this study aims to inform decision-makers and HR professionals on best practices for leveraging AI technologies to improve recruitment efficiency and effectiveness while ensuring ethical and fair practices in talent acquisition.
