Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the order of the day; there is no dimension of life (including organizational ecosystems) that has not been permeated by AI. While AI is making its mark in almost every role in an organization, it must critically examine its effect on the function of Human Resource (HR), especially as this is the most 'human' of all verticals in an organization. Undoubtedly, the method of discovering, recruiting, engaging, maintaining and cultivating talent is the cornerstone of organizations' good economic health. In processes such as talent screening, recruiting, engaging, re-engaging, employee relationships, on-boarding, etc., which used to consume many working hours in the past, AI-based systems currently allow HR automate a wide segment of routine activities, allowing the HR department to be more effective and focus on building compliant and regulatory policies. Talent Acquisition is one of the influential fields within the HR feature that affects AI, for which AI has been nothing short of a game changer - Talent Acquisition is at the height of the organizations' talent management lifecycle. This paper investigates the cascading effect of Artificially Intelligent Systems on organizational talent acquisition processes. It provides a deeper understanding of current AI frameworks and their ability to automate repetitive TA procedures to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the operation. The paper documents the current, also extrapolating the future of Talent Development in AI assisted professional settings, through many case studies of existing AI programs in TA from around the world.
