What data does AI need for human resources?
AsscherAi requires access to specific human resources systems, including the policy library and headcount and skills database, to provide accurate suggestions for recruitment and talent management, and to identify skills gaps and training needs, by analyzing employee data and job requirements.
A recruitment manager checks the headcount and skills database to identify the number of vacancies that need to be filled, and to determine the required skills for each role, before asking AsscherAi to suggest the best candidates from the applicant pool.
The systems
The data for AI in human resources comes from several specific systems, including the policy library, headcount and skills, attrition history, and hiring plan. The policy library provides the rules and guidelines that govern human resources decisions, such as recruitment, promotion, and termination. The headcount and skills database contains information about the current workforce, including job titles, departments, and skill levels. The attrition history provides data on employee turnover, including the reasons for leaving and the timing of departures. The hiring plan outlines the organization's recruitment strategy, including the number of vacancies to be filled and the required skills and qualifications.
For example, a shift supervisor checks the maintenance log to identify the skills required for a particular job, and then uses AsscherAi to find the best candidates from the applicant pool who match those skills. This requires the AI system to have access to the headcount and skills database, as well as the hiring plan, in order to provide accurate and relevant suggestions.
What a missing system does to an answer
If one of these systems is missing, the AI system may provide incomplete or inaccurate answers. For instance, if the attrition history is not available, the AI system may not be able to identify patterns and trends in employee turnover, and therefore may not be able to provide effective suggestions for reducing turnover. Similarly, if the policy library is not accessible, the AI system may not be able to ensure that its suggestions are compliant with organizational policies and procedures.
This can lead to a range of problems, from minor inconsistencies to major errors. In some cases, the AI system may provide suggestions that are not feasible or practical, or that do not align with the organization's goals and objectives. In other cases, the AI system may fail to identify important issues or opportunities, such as skills gaps or training needs.
The definitions that must be agreed
In order for the AI system to provide accurate and effective answers, it is essential that the definitions and terminology used in the human resources systems are agreed upon and consistent. This includes definitions of job titles, departments, skills, and qualifications, as well as terms such as "attrition" and "turnover". If these definitions are not clear and consistent, the AI system may struggle to provide accurate answers, or may provide answers that are not relevant or useful.
For example, if the definition of "attrition" is not agreed upon, the AI system may not be able to accurately identify and analyze turnover patterns. This can lead to a range of problems, from minor errors to major misunderstandings. To avoid these problems, it is essential to establish clear and consistent definitions and terminology, and to ensure that these are used consistently across all human resources systems.
Quality problems that only surface later
Some quality problems may only surface later, after the AI system has been implemented and has started providing answers. For instance, if the data in the headcount and skills database is incomplete or inaccurate, the AI system may provide suggestions that are not feasible or practical. Similarly, if the policy library is not up-to-date, the AI system may provide suggestions that are not compliant with current policies and procedures.
In some cases, these quality problems may be difficult to identify and address, particularly if they are subtle or complex. However, it is essential to monitor the AI system's performance and to address any quality problems that arise, in order to ensure that the system is providing accurate and effective answers.

What this does not do
The AI system is not a replacement for human judgment and decision-making, but rather a tool to support and inform these processes. It is not a solution for all human resources problems, but rather a specific tool that can be used to address certain types of questions and challenges. If you are considering implementing an AI system for human resources, but are unsure about how to proceed, please contact us for more information and guidance.
Frequently asked questions
What data systems are required for AI in human resources?
The policy library, headcount and skills database, attrition history, and hiring plan are essential data systems for AI in human resources.
How does AsscherAi use the headcount and skills database?
AsscherAi uses the headcount and skills database to identify the required skills for each role and to suggest the best candidates from the applicant pool.
What happens if the attrition history is not available?
If the attrition history is not available, AsscherAi may not be able to identify patterns and trends in employee turnover, leading to incomplete or inaccurate suggestions.
Why are consistent definitions and terminology important?
Consistent definitions and terminology are crucial to ensure that AsscherAi provides accurate and relevant answers, and to avoid minor errors or major misunderstandings.
