How does AI Support HR ?

Is AI really replacing HR? Analysis of a changing collaboration

Artificial intelligence is now making inroads into every field, including recruitment. Faced with this rise in the power of automated tools, one question often comes up: **Will AI replace human resources professionals?

For many, this fear is legitimate. After all,** algorithms can analyse thousands of CVs in a matter of seconds, select the best profiles**, and can even conduct preliminary interviews. So what role does HR still have in this process?

But to ask the question in this way is to overlook an essential point: AI is not there to replace humans, but to help them. In recruitment, it is becoming a strategic ally, capable of saving time, reducing bias, and improving the quality of hires.

In this article, we are going to demystify this preconceived idea and understand why the future of recruitment lies in intelligent collaboration between humans and machines.

Fear of replacement: an understandable concern

Since the massive arrival of artificial intelligence in the world of work, many professions have been wondering about their future. The field of human resources is no exception. When we learn that algorithms can sort CVs, analyse skills or conduct automated interviews, it's normal to wonder: "What about me? But beware: this feeling of being left out is often due to a misunderstanding of the real role of AI. Because while it automates certain tasks, it has neither the human judgement nor the emotional intelligence that are essential in recruitment.

What AI really does in recruitment

AI does not replace the HR professional. It takes care of repetitive, often time-consuming tasks, such as :

• Automatic sorting of applications
• Detecting key words in CVs
• Analysis of compatibility with a vacancy
• Automating responses and follow-ups.

This saves valuable time. Instead of spending hours reading dozens of unqualified applications, HR can concentrate on what matters most: the human relationship with the right profiles. AI is therefore a sorting, analysis and decision-making tool, but not a decision-maker.

HR + AI : a winning team

The aim is not to choose between AI and HR. The ideal is to combine the two for faster, fairer and more strategic recruitment.

Artificial intelligence brings :

• Speed
• Accurate data analysis _Reduced human bias
• Reduced human bias_ (unconscious)

But HR retains a central role :

• Evaluate personality and motivation _Create a relationship of trust
• Building a relationship of trust with the candidate_ _Understanding the candidate's human needs
• Understanding the company's human needs.

This combination makes it possible to recruit more effectively, develop talent and make the candidate experience smoother and more human.

Towards a lasting alliance between artificial intelligence and human resources

rtificial intelligence is not a threat to HR professionals. On the contrary, it is an augmentation tool: it makes work more strategic, faster and fairer.

In an increasingly competitive world, companies that embrace AI intelligently will have a clear advantage in attracting and retaining the best talent. But this future can only be built through a harmonious collaboration between technology and people.
