Exploring the Cutting Edge of AI Utilization in Recruitment

As the competition for talent intensifies, HR departments are increasingly struggling to meet hiring goals with limited resources. Human resource personnel face challenges such as a lack of manpower and the inability to allocate time to strategic tasks that should ideally be handled by humans. Amidst these challenges, an exciting development is gaining traction: the efficiency of recruitment processes through the incorporation of Generative AI. Many companies overseas have successfully enhanced productivity using AI tools, with progressive organizations in Japan also starting to see positive results.

The question then arises: how do we utilize the time saved through AI optimization?
