Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the order of the day – there isn’t a facet of life (organizational ecosystems included) that AI has not permeated. While AI is making its mark in almost every function in an organization, its impact on the Human Resource (HR) function has to be examined critically, especially so as this is most ‘human’ of all verticals in an organization. The process of identifying, hiring, engaging, retaining and developing talent is undoubtedly the backbone of good economic health of organizations. AI based systems currently help HR automate a large segment of repetitive tasks in processes such as talent screening, hiring, engaging, re-engaging, employee relations, on-boarding, etc. that used to consume many labor-hours in the past, thereby enabling the HR department to be more efficient, and focus on building compliant and regulatory policies. Among the prominent areas within the HR function that AI impacts, Talent Acquisition is one for which AI has become nothing short of a game changer - Talent Acquisition being at the cusp of talent management lifecycle for organizations. This paper explores the cascaded impact of Artificially Intelligent systems on talent acquisition processes of organizations. It offers a deeper understanding of current AI frameworks and their ability to automate repetitive TA processes increasing process efficiency and effectiveness. Through several case studies of existing AI systems in TA from across the globe, the paper documents the present, also extrapolating the future of Talent Acquisition in AI aided professional environments.
