AI in HR: recruitment, onboarding, and HR automation
A workshop-style course for HR managers, recruiters, and small business owners that shows how to practically implement AI in recruitment, onboarding, and HR processes without technical jargon. Participants work with ready-made prompt templates, checklists, and case studies set in the reality of a mid-sized company.
This course teaches how to make sound decisions about using AI in HR where it truly saves time and improves work quality: in creating job ads, candidate pre-screening, candidate communication, onboarding, and repetitive HR processes. Instead of a general overview of tools, participants move through concrete scenarios from the day-to-day life of an HR department and a small or medium-sized company: from shortening recruitment time, through standardizing communication, to reducing the risk of errors, bias, and organizational chaos. The program stands out for its emphasis on the decision-making and operational perspective: what is worth automating, what should not be automated, how to maintain human contact with the candidate and employee, and how to measure business impact. The course structure refers to current market trends: HR is now among the most common areas of AI implementation in companies, and talent acquisition is indicated as a leading use case; at the same time, reports show that the biggest barriers are leadership, organizational, and training-related, not purely technological. That is why the course combines case studies, comparisons of weak and strong messages, ready-made prompt templates, implementation checklists, and workshop exercises for participants who want to move quickly from experiments to a structured way of working. The program is inspired, among others, by current McKinsey reports on organizational readiness for working with AI, BCG on the role of HR and recruitment as one of the fastest-growing applications, LinkedIn on the changing role of the recruiter and the emphasis on quality of hire, and SHRM and the World Economic Forum, which stress the need for transparency, risk assessment, and maintaining human oversight over personnel decisions.
