HR professionals have been urged to start building their knowledge around artificial intelligence (AI) now – or risk being left behind.
Various studies have shown that HR professionals are increasingly using and experimenting with AI to reduce admin-intensive processes, including screening CVs.
Tracy Jones, Programme Manager at leading training provider Realise, warned those who are stubbornly not engaging with AI are putting their future prospects in jeopardy.
Tracy said: “Artificial intelligence is already having a huge impact on the HR industry – and that is certain to grow quickly.
“It is already being used to simplify monotonous tasks related to both recruitment and employee management, and it can also be used for strategic insights and creating policies and procedures.
Smyths Toys and Realise partnered on the ‘Sector Based Work Academy Programme (SWAP)’, a fully funded course which saw anybody who successfully completed the training granted a guaranteed job interview at Smyths.
