Abstract
The rapid evolution of technology has positioned Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a transformative force in global recruitment practices. In India, the convergence of AI and HR Tech is redefining the functioning of job portals, offering advanced solutions for talent acquisition, skill matching, and user engagement.
This paper examines the integration of AI and HR Tech in Indian job portals and its broader implications for recruitment ecosystems. Drawing on contemporary literature and industry insights, it highlights how AI-powered tools—including resume parsers, predictive analytics, chatbots, and recommendation engines—enhance efficiency, personalization, and decision-making. The study adopts a multi-stakeholder perspective, analyzing how job portals leverage AI to create platform value, organizations benefit from cost-effective and data-driven hiring, and job seekers gain through personalized job discovery, skill development, and career guidance.
Despite these advancements, challenges related to algorithmic bias, data privacy, and digital inequality persist, raising questions about fairness and inclusivity. The paper underscores the importance of ethical governance, transparent systems, and continuous innovation to ensure AI-driven recruitment remains equitable and sustainable. By situating India’s experience within the global discourse, the study not only emphasizes the strategic role of AI in shaping modern workforce development but also identifies future directions for research and practice in creating inclusive, future-ready recruitment ecosystems.
