HR professionals are proving to be some of the keenest adopters of generative AI technology. In fact, research carried out this year by Gartner suggests that 38% of HR leaders are already piloting, planning or implementing generative AI initiatives.
With use cases spanning resume screening, drafting job descriptions, automation of performance reviews and onboarding new hires, the number of generative AI tools catering to the HR industry is growing daily.
So, here’s my overview of some of the leading tools and platforms available today for automating and streamlining HR and recruitment processes.
Leena
Leena is a comprehensive AI-powered HR platform with powerful generative functionality. It offers a virtual HR assistant that can automate many tasks, including performance management, query resolution and employee onboarding. This is carried out via autonomous agents – basically generative AI workers that are able to carry out a series of tasks rather than simply respond to individual prompts, as is the case with regular genAI chatbots like ChatGPT. Using these agents, it’s able to create and maintain company knowledge bases, generate action plans and provide real-time insights into employee data.
Eightfold Talent Intelligence
Eightfold is an established talent management platform that recently launched generative capabilities delivered via its Talent Intelligence Copilots. These use natural language capabilities to assist with both recruiting and employee-focused HR tasks, enabling members of a workforce to access training opportunities and explore career options while providing recruiters with tools for scheduling interviews and automating the creation of job descriptions.
Metaview
This is another tool designed primarily for recruiters, specifically designed to automate the process of note-taking during interviews and candidate assessments. It captures, summarizes and annotates any form of recruitment-related conversations and generates shareable feedback, allowing recruiters to focus on their engagement with candidates rather than their manual note-taking. It’s designed to integrate with existing HR applicant tracking systems and video interview systems and can automatically generate scorecards assessing a candidate’s suitability against the requirements and nice-to-haves of the role they are applying for.
Benify
The Benify platform provides automated answers to questions about organizations’ benefits and rewards programs, as well as HR policies, freeing up the time that HR teams spend answering routine questions for higher-value work. It’s recently been augmented with the addition of a generative AI assistant called Beni, designed to streamline the process further. Beni focuses on helping organizations administer sophisticated benefits packages like personalized healthcare plans while also predicting trends that can guide businesses towards better management of employee wellbeing.
Lattice
AI-augmented people management platform with powerful generative functionality. Lattice leverages genAI to create real-time answers to workforce questions and personalized career development plans. These are augmented with actionable insights aimed at helping businesses get the best out of their employees. It can automate the summaries and feedback for performance reviews, identifying career goals and areas for growth and improvement of individual employees as well as teams. A particularly innovative feature, however, is its ability to generate personalized onboarding videos for new hires tailored for specific job roles or locations.
