21 HR AI tools every HR team should consider

Capabilities

Different providers focus on different HR functions. When choosing a new AI tool, consider what capabilities the provider offers. For example, if you want an all-in-one applicant tracking system (ATS), you may want to avoid providers that offer only interview analysis.

Data Quality

As they say, data is AI’s lifeblood. If the data is poor quality, then the AI tool trained on that data will provide poor results. When considering a new AI tool, carefully review the provider’s data sources and practices.

Security

Your organisation will likely provide an AI with some form of organisational data. This may include personal employee data or information about the organisation’s practices. To help protect the organisation, ensure the provider’s cybersecurity, privacy and safety practices are compliant.

Fit

Though a particular AI tool may be extremely powerful, it may not fit your organisation’s needs. For example, it may not integrate with tools you’ve already invested in. Beyond quality, be sure to consider if it’s the right tool for YOUR organisation and your priorities.

Support

Whether or not the organisation has excellent onboarding and customer support is paramount. In this time of rapid change, your HR team will need a solid support system to ensure smooth adoption and integration of the new AI tool.

Experience

A great user experience will help HR team members onboard quickly and use all features the tool has to offer. It will also prevent team members from becoming frustrated or avoiding the tool.

Brightmine HR & Compliance Centre

The Brightmine HR & Compliance Centre, formerly XpertHR tools and resources, provides in-depth coverage of HR legislation and leading practices. It uses AI to personalise each user’s dashboard based on their compliance and other HR needs.

Powered by a robust, comprehensive, reliable data source continuously kept up to date in line with developments.

Microsoft CoPilot

Microsoft is a generative AI tool that generates responses to any inquiry provided by a user. It can generate written responses and images, and it can analyse audio inputs. Though it’s extremely helpful for tasks like writing emails or creating summaries and transcripts, CoPilot has some shortcomings. The tool can provide inaccurate answers to technical inquiries. Unlike ChatGPT, CoPilot does provide citations to show where it drew information from for its response.

To help HR team members use generative AI appropriately, it’s important to implement safeguards.
