In-demand AI skills in HR

AI skills that cover the development of algorithms and models that enable machines to perform tasks are the most-requested skills in the HR sector.

“HR professionals use AI to automate resume screening, conduct initial candidate assessments, and provide employee self-service support through chatbots,” the report read.

Machine Learning, a subset of AI, is also in demand in HR for its capability to make predictive analytics for employee retention, identify high-potential candidates, and optimise compensation benchmarking.

Generative AI skills are also in demand, according to the report. HR professionals use them to create job descriptions, develop training materials, and draft personalised employee communications at scale.

Other in-demand AI skills in HR include text retrieval systems and predictive modelling.
