Abstract

As new technologies impact the job search and recruiting processes, many are curious about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in these areas. This study explores the moral questions raised by using AI algorithms to screen and choose candidates, with an emphasis on how to strike a balance between efficiency and justice in accordance with labor laws. This study delves into the different aspects of AI-driven recruitment practices, including the levels of implementation, compliance with labor regulations, organizational policies, and HR professionals' perceptions of ethical considerations. It offers insights into the challenges and opportunities that come with AI in a comprehensive manner. The data shows that AI is being used in recruiting procedures, which means that there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of efficiency and candidate selection. But there are serious ethical concerns about AI-driven employment practices that include prejudice and bias, so we need to keep an eye on these algorithms and make sure they're becoming better at being fair and equitable. To further guarantee compliance with labor laws and maintain ethical standards in recruiting operations, the study stresses the significance of enhancing organizational policies and guidelines pertaining to AI ethics. Human resources experts are essential in addressing these concerns and understanding the ethical nuances of implementing AI at work. So, it's crucial to encourage HR professionals to participate in continuing education programs that raise their level of awareness and comprehension of ethical considerations.
