HR teams can’t seem to catch a break between tackling a year of layoffs, limited budgets and new compliance challenges. And while new AI tools could prove helpful, they may come with a steep learning curve.
According to hiring management platform Greenhouse, 80% of HR professionals have used or are considering using generative AI in their hiring processes, with 62% believing the technology will help them choose the best candidate. However, New York City’s AI law, which requires employers to have their automated employment decision tools audited for bias, hints at the wider need to regulate this new technology. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) even issued guidance on the tech in May, stating that if the tools result in discriminatory practices, employers will be held liable.
