  • These Assistants need to be trained only once; unlike HR individuals (You train them, and then set them free).
  • Chatbots and Assistants provide an inhuman immediacy. Round the clock availability (machines don’t sleep) and Around the world accessibility (the ubiquitous internet) make them the most efficient Assistants.
  • People Analytics helps HR Managers remain informed about the shape of the Employee base. These Analytics direct the course of preemptive actions for employees. AI makes the preemptive actions for employee attrition easy to execute.
  • AI ensures that the smartphone provided to your employees favors you and not your competitors. It doesn’t help if the smartphone provided to employees keeps notifying them of other jobs available for them. With AI, HR Software are able to track the time spent on career website, map recent new connections and generate insights about why and when employees quit.
  • With AI, Talent acquisition is executed with a priority similar to that of customer acquisition. Verticals like CRM and Marketing for Talent Acquisition helps attract the quality crowd and maintain it.
  • It reduces the task of going through individual resumes; instead, it provides a list of best fits for the given position. Detailed and easy background checks for all applicants reduce workload for HR community.
  • By adopting machine learning, Employee retention rate is also increased. With Machine learning, it becomes easy to study patterns of employee behavior and improve upon the lacking aspects.
