Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming recruitment and selection processes in organizations worldwide. This paper explores the role of AI in enhancing efficiency and reducing bias within human resource practices. By leveraging AI tools such as automated resume screening, predictive analytics, and intelligent chatbots, organizations can streamline candidate sourcing, assessment, and shortlisting processes, significantly reducing the time and effort required for manual recruitment. Moreover, AI facilitates objective evaluation by minimizing unconscious human biases, promoting fairness, diversity, and inclusivity in hiring decisions. Despite its advantages, the study highlights challenges associated with AI adoption, including potential algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, and the need for human oversight to ensure ethical implementation. The paper emphasizes that AI should complement, rather than replace, human judgment, enabling HR professionals to make informed decisions while maintaining transparency and accountability. Through a review of recent empirical studies and practical applications in Indian and global contexts, this research demonstrates that AI-driven recruitment strategies can enhance organizational effectiveness, improve candidate experience, and foster equitable hiring practices. Future research should focus on continuous monitoring of AI systems, bias mitigation strategies, and alignment with organizational ethics.
