Dan Buckley, CEO of Cognexo, sat down with Techround to share his thoughts. Key predictions and insights:

By 2025, AI will transform recruitment, reshaping both pre-boarding and onboarding processes. New hires will engage with intelligent chatbots and immersive platforms before their start date, receiving tailored insights into their role, company culture and expectations. Dynamic feedback systems will provide constructive post-interview insights, enhancing goodwill and employer branding.

‍

During onboarding, AI will personalise learning modules and resources based on individual preferences, ensuring employees feel supported from day one. Cognexo's survey revealed that 54% of UK employees are dissatisfied with onboarding, highlighting the need for continuous learning and real-time sentiment monitoring. HR leaders must move beyond annual engagement surveys, using AI-driven analytics and auto-escalation processes to address disengagement proactively and refine strategies.

‍

AI's ultimate role is to automate routine tasks, allowing HR teams to focus on meaningful interactions and strategic goals. However, organisations must ensure algorithms are unbiased, trained on diverse datasets and transparent in decision-making. AI should complement human judgment, preserving the assessment of cultural fit and complex decision-making.
