Reviews
"I found Ben's book to be a very useful distillation of a complex and increasingly important area of HR capability and investment. My students, future HR leaders, gained tremendous insight into AI for HR and the facilitating role it will soon play in the best organizations for people. Artificial Intelligence for HR demystifies a complex topic and contextualizes what some regard as just the latest HR fad. It is a well-organized and well-written book worth reading by HR leaders, educators and students. Despite the title, it's really all about people!" * John Haggerty, Ph.D. Senior Lecturer, HR Studies at Cornell University *
"The HR landscape has changed dramatically over the last three years. As the "War for Talent" continues to escalate, the value of the business minded, technologically aware HR professional has increased. What's needed are HR professionals who view AI and other technology as an augmentation to HR, giving them the ability to be business consultants versus the more common, reactive HR. Ben's book explores how HR professionals are using new technology to transform their businesses and the industry as a whole. If you are in search of a data-packed, transformational book, I'd encourage you to take the time to dive deep, take notes, and transform your own business with what you learn." * Trent Cotton, VP Talent Acquisition and Retention at Bureau Veritas and Author of Sprint Recruiting *
