FAQs
What is the best AI tool for HR teams?
Claude is a flexible drafting and analysis assistant, while Glean is a stronger enterprise candidate for approved internal knowledge. Hiring, performance, and employee-relations decisions need specialized governance.
Should AI screen candidates or employees?
Automated employment decisions can introduce bias and legal risk. HR and legal teams should assess job relevance, accessibility, adverse impact, notice, consent, auditability, and local requirements before deployment.
What HR data should stay out of general AI tools?
Keep personnel files, health information, compensation, investigations, protected characteristics, and confidential employee communications out of any system that is not explicitly approved for them.
