This paper mainly examines the impact of AI in the talent acquisition processes on the three aspects of practical, ethical, and strategic impacts. The practical approach can improve the efficiency in recruitment and selection to find the best-fit candidate through AI algorithms for certain roles. The ethical approach of AI can ensure a fair talent acquisition process that reduces bias and discrimination to support final decision-making. The strategic approach allows organizations to use AI in conducting recruitment and selection practices with considerations on the future growth of the business, prospecting the required talents to achieve such growth. The attraction of using AI in the hiring process can lead to a more digitalized and trendy employer branding, making organizations appeal and expand to innovative pools of candidates. However, there are downsides to all approaches, including the lack of human involvement, the risks of data security and breaches, and the consistency of employer branding in utilizing AI technology. In exploring the benefits and limitations of AIs impact on talent acquisition, there should be a more structured approach to unleashing this technology in the HR practice.
