Human Resources is a function that manages all processes, policies and strategies regarding an organization's employees. The conventional approach to managing the human resources process is through manual methods. Human resources departments often use manual processes to handle issues such as recruitment, payroll and personnel affairs, employee development, and performance management. Therefore, the human resource management process is costly and time-consuming.
With the advancement of technology, as in many sectors, human resources departments also make changes in the execution systems of their processes. As we mentioned in our 2023 HR Trends article, companies have recently started to use artificial intelligence technologies to advance these processes efficiently.
It is thought that artificial intelligence technologies such as ChatGPT can create a great change in many sub-areas such as selection and placement, performance management, and employee development. In this article, we will talk about how ChatGPT can be used in human resources processes.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot in the field of natural language processing (NLP), developed by OpenAI.
ChatGPT, by its own definition, “is a language model and can communicate with natural language in a human-like manner”. It can be used to answer users' questions, offer suggestions, or maintain dialogs using a text-based interface. Although ChatGPT does not provide complete and precise answers for every use, it provides information about the questions and helps you with your issue. It is an AI robot, so it can remember its own answers and even correct its own answers. While using this technology, you can access the theoretical information you need, as well as create and edit documents. In ChatGPT, which also has different language options; there are many services available such as translating, summarizing and compiling texts, correcting spelling errors, and creating new texts. Apart from language skills, it also have analytical functions such as writing codes, editing written codes, and performing mathematical tasks.
One of the main reasons for ChatGPT's popularity and widespread use in a short time is that it provides the opportunity to use it as a virtual assistant.
