One such new technology that is nowadays
controlling all the major sectors of the industries is
“Artificial Intelligence”. With the introduction of
artificial intelligence in the Human Resource
Department has brought a significant revolution by
combining the human intelligence and the
innovation of the digital technologies in automating
all the activities performed by the department. Now,
using AI, machines can drive the processes with the
human intelligence factor. John McCarthy first used
the term Artificial Intelligence in 1950. Already
more than 60% of businesses are using AI to its
fullest and it is valued by trillion $ by 2018 (Albert,
2019). AI is the new face of the business world. A
whole new glossary is created for HR crucial
activities in the era of industry4.0 (Bondarouk and
Brewster, 2016).
Various crucial activities of the HR department
include recruitment, selection, hiring, training and
development, and talent management for the
development of an organization (Nawaz, 2019).
Within the global market where technology brings
rapid changes in the demands and desires of the
consumers, human resources are considered
valuable resources in the job markets. In recent
times with various economic, political, and social
changes going over the world, it has become more
challenging for HR managers to identify and acquire
talented human resources for their companies.
Recruitment processes need to be redesigned to
identify the most suitable candidates and
encouraging them to initiate the process of applying
within the company. AI enables the recruitment
process to be more efficient with the intelligent data-
driven decision. Programs using AI help in matching
the desired skills of the candidate as per the job
description. Now, HR managers have access to lots
of data, real-time data. AI-enabled tools help the HR
managers to segregate the candidates on the
predefined data. Results are more accurate and
reliable leading to an increase in productivity with
low-cost as human errors and bias factors are
reduced to a high level. Of course, organizations
now need to spend time and money on training the
employees to work efficiently and effectively with
digital technologies. An outstanding recognition was
received by Volvo, a luxury car company at the
Brussels Motor show due to their AI embedded car
used to interview the candidates for the post of
service technicians (Vedapradha et al., 2019). But
the use of AI in various HR processes has reduced
manpower and created some ambiguity between
manpower and machine power (Geetha R. and
Bhanu D., 2018).
The main objective of the paper is to comprehend
the connection between the Human Resource and
Artificial Intelligence and to focus on the trends in
the recruitment process related to information and
communication system using AI.
The methodology used to write this paper is
based on the literature review and the secondary
data. A thorough review of all the secondary data
from various journal publications, conference
proceedings, websites and the books are referred
while drafting this paper. All the keywords
mentions in the paper were researched to describe
the objective of the paper.

RECRUITMENT
In this modest business world, the human resource
department is an essential part of any organization
for its improvement and organizational performance.
To be effective and prosperous in the business
world, organizations have to attempt greater

organization. The most important activities that
Human Resource Management (HRM) deals with is
- recognizing, attaining, and developing a productive
workforce so that they can work for the
organization's goals and objectives in the most
appropriate fashion. Among these, the most
interesting and challenging activity is carried out is
to identify and acquire the most desirable candidates
whose skills match the desired set of skills required
to perform in a specific job.
These activities are the most time-consuming
process and which leads to wastage of a lot of
money due to poor recruitment method
and
technology used. (Hmoud B & Laszlo V, 2019).
Over the years many researchers had given a
different definition for Human Resource
Management (HRM).
According to Edwin B. Flippo recruitment is
defined as “searching and identifying the potential
employees and to encourage them so that they can
work for the organization's development and the
objectives”. Any mistakes done in this process can
