In this report, Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) Principal Analyst PJ Jakovljevic explores the potential use cases for AI tools in targeted recruitment, candidate screening, interviews and assessments, onboarding, training, performance management, career development, and other areas of employee engagement—through all stages of the employee lifecycle.
