The adoption of AI-based talent acquisition platforms will bring "very deep efficiency improvements" to employers' hiring processes, but also much greater scrutiny, says the global chief of a recruitment software specialist.

Failure rates are high when it comes to implementing AI in workplaces, but taking a wait-and-see approach is just as risky for employers, an innovation specialist says.

"Connecting the dots" between previously disjointed HR processes has helped an organisation save hundreds of days of administrative effort each year, and dramatically improve its employee experience.

Prioritising workplace culture during a merger has meant an otherwise "hectic" transformation timeframe became a "seamless" transition, a chief people officer says.

Employers that take the time to "onboard" their AI tools will be far more likely to realise productivity gains than those taking an approach of "just roll it out and see what happens", a business intelligence specialist says.

Employers are investing heavily in AI-based transformations, but research suggests employees' perceptions about their work environments' innovation levels has reached an "all-time low".

Performance management is set to become less HR-centric, more continuous, and more cross-functional, according to an authority on KPIs who foresees employers using unprecedented amounts of data to make people decisions.

An organisation that has quickly grown to 1,000 staff, but until recently was still relying on spreadsheets to store and manage its people data, says a system overhaul took it "from zero to 100".

With AI now making some skills less valuable, knowledge workers should be "honing" their human skills, but they need leadership support, a data scientist says.

A deluge of job applications made using AI and auto-apply apps is creating more work for recruitment teams, reducing authenticity and slowing down the whole process, leaders say.
