How AI Is Powering the Next HR Revolution

With the rapid advancement of AI technology, human resource management is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. According to global surveys, over 70% of companies plan to expand their use of AI in HR within the next five years, while many Taiwanese companies remain in a wait-and-see stage. What kind of changes can AI truly bring, and how should businesses respond to this new HR revolution?

Recruitment Process

AI has demonstrated tremendous potential in transforming the recruitment process. Through machine learning and natural language processing, AI can efficiently screen large volumes of candidate data to identify those who best match the job requirements. This not only accelerates the hiring process but also helps reduce human bias and enhance fairness.  A study conducted in the UK and the US revealed that nearly half of respondents believe AI can help reduce bias and unfair treatment during recruitment and may even outperform humans in ensuring fairness.

In Taiwan, a 2023 survey found that only 15% of companies have adopted AI in HR management, primarily for resume screening and employee satisfaction analysis, while nearly 60% are still in the evaluation stage. At iNSearch, we also began integrating AI-assisted resume screening and talent matching last year to enhance recruitment efficiency. We believe that, after a period of adjustment, this technology will provide even more comprehensive support for our recruitment process.

Employee Training and Development

AI plays a vital role not only in recruitment but also in employee training and development. By analyzing employee performance data, AI can identify skill gaps and recommend personalized training programs. This precise and data-driven approach to training helps enhance employees’ competencies while improving overall organizational productivity.

Employee Experience and Engagement

The application of AI technology has also improved the employee experience. For example, AI chatbots can instantly answer employee inquiries, provide policy information, and even assist with routine administrative tasks such as leave applications. This not only reduces the HR team’s workload but also increases employee satisfaction and engagement.

In Taiwan, some companies have already adopted AI chatbots to handle employee inquiries, improving HR response efficiency. Additionally, several organizations are leveraging AI to conduct employee satisfaction surveys, using automated analytics to provide managers with real-time insights into employee sentiment and engagement levels.

Challenges and Future Outlook

Despite the many advantages AI has shown in the HR field, its adoption is still at an early stage. A survey of more than 200 organizations in the UK and the US found that only about 9.4% of HR professionals are currently using AI tools and plan to increase their investment, while 39.3% are actively exploring AI applications.
In Taiwan, companies tend to be even more cautious toward AI adoption. Surveys show that most HR departments are still in the exploration phase, evaluating both the return on investment (ROI) and the technical feasibility of integrating AI into their operations.
The main challenges include data privacy concerns, adaptability of AI technologies, and ensuring fairness and transparency in AI-assisted decision-making processes.

It is believed that as technology continues to mature, AI applications in HR will become deeper and more widespread. Most importantly, organizations must uphold a “people-centered” approach. AI should be seen as a valuable assistant, not a replacement for human judgment and emotional intelligence.

Therefore, when implementing AI technologies, HR departments should focus on maintaining a balance between technology and humanity, ensuring that while efficiency improves, organizational culture and employee relationships remain harmonious. Only through this balance can companies fully realize the true potential of human resource management in the AI era.
