requirements)
Q2: Is this a problem that AI can solve?
Solution with AI
• AI will help employees to be free from daily, mundane tasks that technology
could help more efficiently
• Compilation of client requirements and suggesting suitable talent matches based
on multiple variables updated in the system
• Real-time tracking of vacant profiles, upcoming & running projects, employee
skills and updation
• Integrate rich sources of information into the recommendation engine without
causing bias and transparency in selection process
• AI can help in finding emerging employees as managers can be biased to allocate
the same assignment to known outstanding performers
• Equal opportunity to all employees without any gender/performance bias
depending on multiple selection criteria based on project requirement
• Employee selection will be based on suitability in variables and not on the hiring
manager’s politics to bring hygiene in the selection process
