Description

Technology has made the hiring process easier and more efficient with the ability to utilize pre-hire assessment tools to evaluate candidates. Gone are the days when hiring managers needed to pour over every resume. HR departments no longer need to feel they’re tossing the dice on a new hire. There’s no denying that technology has changed our lives in just about every way imaginable. And that includes the recruitment process. From sourcing to engaging with candidates, technology has helped streamline the recruitment process.

The one thing everyone is certain about regarding HR technology is that no one is truly certain about anything. According to Gartner’s annual HR priorities report, 60% of HR leaders are uncertain about the impact of evolving technology trends (like generative AI) on HR and talent. Meanwhile, 56% acknowledge their existing HR technology solutions and overall strategy don’t match their current and future business needs, particularly around digital transformation.

Gartner’s research highlights what most HR professionals are experiencing right now: a huge onslaught of buzzy technology and an inescapable hype cycle that can be hard to keep up with. CHROs and other HR leaders are constantly looking for ways to avoid the hype merry-go-round without missing truly important developments.

For instance, the AI hype is real but has created plenty of headaches. Even as mandates are laid down and competitive pressures increase to use AI to improve productivity, HR teams aren’t sure how to implement it. Also, many are still trying to catch up with the last big change cycle, which increased demands for HR tech to support flexible working solutions and enhanced employee experiences.

We already use HR technology in numerous ways, and some ‘upgrades’ are already in place, like AI-powered tools to screen resumes, schedule interviews, automate certain parts of onboarding, and so on.

However, it’s vital to remember that technology is just a tool, not a replacement for any moving part, and diving too much into automation can backfire. Statistics cited by hiring platform Near note that 82% of job seekers today are frustrated with overly automated processes, and 87% say that tech developments have made job searching more impersonal.

Why you should Attend

To navigate all this, organizations need HR leaders who stay up to date, who cut through the noise, and who can approach new ideas from a thoughtful perspective without extreme reactions. These leaders must be able to handle technology and help their teams adapt. After all, mid-tier HR staffers, too, need to feel comfortable with new technologies, not just leaders.
