Companies Embrace AI-Driven Hiring to Improve Efficiency and Reduce Bias

In a significant shift across the human resource landscape, companies worldwide are rapidly adopting AI-powered recruitment platforms to streamline hiring processes, cut costs, and address long-standing concerns about bias in candidate selection.

According to a recent study by the World Employment Federation, over 62% of large enterprises now use AI-based tools for initial resume screening, skill assessments, and even preliminary interviews. These technologies aim to improve efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and enabling HR teams to focus more on strategy and employee well-being.

“AI is not replacing recruiters but making them smarter and faster,” said Priya Menon, Chief Talent Officer at Infotex Ltd. “It helps us identify potential fits beyond traditional markers like education or years of experience.”

Beyond hiring, AI is also revolutionizing employee engagement, performance management, and learning & development, offering personalized career growth paths and real-time feedback systems.

However, experts caution that ethical AI usage is essential. Regulators in the US, EU, and India are working on frameworks to ensure transparency and fairness, especially around data privacy and algorithmic bias.

As the workforce becomes increasingly digital and global, HR departments are expected to play a strategic role in shaping inclusive, tech-enabled workplaces that attract and retain top talent.
