Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in various aspects of organizational operations has been a significant trend in recent years. One critical area where AI has shown promising potential is in the field of human resource management, specifically in the recruitment and selection processes. This thesis examines the impact of artificial intelligence on employee recruitment and selection processes within organizations. The study aims to explore how AI technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics are reshaping traditional recruitment and selection practices. The thesis begins with an introduction that provides a background of the study, identifies the problem statement, states the objectives of the study, discusses the limitations and scope of the research, highlights the significance of the study, and outlines the structure of the thesis. Chapter two presents a comprehensive literature review that delves into ten key areas related to the impact of AI on recruitment and selection processes. The literature review examines the evolution of AI in HR, benefits and challenges of AI in recruitment, AI tools and platforms, ethical considerations, and future trends in AI adoption in HR practices. Chapter three details the research methodology employed in this study, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses the validity and reliability of the research findings. Chapter four presents a detailed discussion of the research findings, including how AI technologies are transforming recruitment and selection processes, the implications for HR professionals, and the potential challenges and opportunities associated with AI adoption in HR practices. Finally, chapter five provides a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications for practice, and recommendations for future research. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by shedding light on the transformative impact of AI on employee recruitment and selection processes. By understanding the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AI technologies in HR practices, organizations can make informed decisions to enhance their recruitment and selection strategies in the digital age.
