Human Resource Management

Recruiters are beginning to heavily use artificial intelligence (AI) and other smart technology recruiting tools in their jobs. One of the major selling points besides the fact that these programs save significant amounts of recruiter time is that artificial intelligence can make better decisions than human recruiters because of the lack of bias. However, most of the companies selling this software also note that AI programs are only as good as their programming.

Answer preview

. As a manager, I would choose Management by Objectives (MBO) as a method of performance appraisal for my staff. Under this, the manager, together with the employees’ pinpoints, strategizes, consolidates, and communicates on the long- and short-term objectives to focus on during a certain appraisal period. The manger and the employees are then able to discuss progress, if any, and make informed decisions on the feasibility of the method and achievement of goals. This method does not vary at all by employee rank and industry. It applies to all organizations that match overarching goals and individual employees using smart methods to validate their objectives. At the end of it, the employees are judged.
