Abstract
This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Human Resources (HR) and workforce scheduling, emphasizing the rapid integration of AI into these domains. It explores the benefits and drawbacks of AI in HR recruiting and scheduling by comparing traditional methods with AI-driven approaches. While traditional recruitment practices, such as in-person interviews and resume evaluations, are effective, they often limit access to a broader candidate pool. AI can streamline these processes, enhancing efficiency, provided human oversight exists to mitigate biases and ensure accuracy.
Through a comprehensive literature review, this study reveals varying degrees of AI adoption across organizations and highlights its dual impact: increased productivity alongside ethical and employment-related concerns. The article evaluates the effectiveness of traditional HR practices compared to AI-enhanced approaches, particularly how AI has transformed the hiring process by utilizing keyword recognition to streamline resume screening. This efficiency allows HR professionals to allocate more time to strategic roles. However, the reliance on AI for resume evaluation raises significant concerns, leading to an exploration of ethical and legal perspectives. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the implications of AI integration, fostering a thoughtful approach to its application in HR and recruitment practices as we navigate this evolving technological landscape.
