MY friends tell me that I write about the future much of the time. First, the future is where we shall spend the rest of our lives. Second, my prescriptions seem futuristic, like AI in HR, because they're not yet practiced in many Filipino enterprises.

In March 2023, the Guardian reported that 'one-third of Australian businesses currently use AI tools in recruitment,' and a Mercer report in 2020 found that 55 percent of HR leaders were already using predictive algorithms in hiring. In one of the recent global surveys, '50 percent of HR teams anticipate a struggle in meeting demand with their current talent model,' while 56 percent of HR leaders say that hiring volume will increase, but 66 percent say that recruiting teams will stay the same. Lastly, 52 percent of talent acquisition leaders admit difficulty identifying suitable candidates from a large applicant pool.'
