Chief Knowledge Officer at SHRM; submitted New York State Senate testimony on workplace AI in 2026.
Within recruiting, AI-enabled tools are primarily used in upstream, administrative, and support functions. The most common applications include writing job descriptions (66%), screening applicant resumes (44%) and automating candidate searches (32%). These uses are designed to help HR professionals manage volume, improve consistency, and surface relevant information—not to independently determine employment outcomes.
