AI for Public HR Professionals

This series helps public-sector HR professionals learn how to use AI to improve recruiting, hiring, employee communications, job classification, onboarding, workforce planning, and talent management. 

HR leaders are beginning to use AI to draft and update job descriptions, support skills-based hiring, communicate with applicants, onboard new staff, and support team formation and new ways of working. At the same time, they face important questions about fairness, transparency, privacy, accessibility, compliance, and professional judgment.
