Applied AI for HR Professionals

There’s a counterintuitive truth emerging in the world of HR: the more we embrace technology, the more we lean on our core human skills. I spent this past weekend with SightsIn Plus diving into Applied AI for HR, and that realization became incredibly clear. We weren't just learning tools; we were learning a mindset.

Here is a simple framework I'm now applying to every AI-related HR task:

1. Diagnose the Problem: Don’t start with the tool. Start with the pain point. Is it a slow recruitment process? A lack of engagement data?

2. Evaluate the Interface: Can AI automate the repetitive, administrative work? Can it provide a baseline for analysis, like sifting through data or generating first-draft content?

3. Amplify the Human: Now, apply your strategic thinking. Use the time and data the AI gave you to focus on the high-touch, empathetic work—candidate interviews, employee coaching, and leadership consulting.

This isn't just about using a new tool. It's a new way of thinking about our role. Thank you to the SightsIn Plus team for designing such a comprehensive and practical course. A massive shout out to Manish Chum for facilitating the session with a blend of deep expertise and infectious passion. It was a privilege to learn from you.

Pleased to share that I have completed a 2-days course on 'Applied AI in Human Resources' with SightsIn Plus , led by Manish Chum , Founder - WorkflowwAI.

Learning, and understanding applications, of AI is no longer optional - it's quintessential for HR Business Partners to stay ahead and add real value to our stakeholders. During the course, I explored powerful AI tools like Gamma, Claude, Perplexity, Elevenlabs, Notebook LLM, JuliusAI, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Copilot. What stood out was their vast individual potential and the exponential impact when combined to solve HR challenges swiftly and accurately.

The key learning? With clear problem definition and creative prompt engineering, AI tools amplify our imagination - they don’t limit creativity but unlock new horizons for innovation in HR. Let’s embrace this transformative journey and keep pushing forward.
