Our widely-read whitepaper this year — Making AI Work for HR: A Practical Guide for People Teams continues to receive amazing feedback across the people and talent community. Thank you to everyone who has fed back so positively!
Developed in partnership with our friends at HiBob, the guide takes a practical, zero-jargon approach to turning AI into a real asset for HR teams, not another layer of complexity.
If you missed it, here are the takeaways our readers are sharing the most:
AI doesn’t replace people — it removes the admin
A key theme from the guide is that AI should remove friction, not remove humans. That’s why we built the guide around five everyday tasks where AI can give HR back its time, including:
- Writing job descriptions and onboarding guides
- Building an HR chatbot for FAQs
- Analysing survey data and employee sentiment
- Running fast, directional salary benchmarking
- Helping with feedback themes and performance review prep
You don’t need an AI team to get started
From creating role profiles to producing onboarding content, you can apply AI to real HR tasks today. No IT support, no £100k project plan. Tools like ChatGPT and Notion AI can generate inclusive job descriptions, produce manager playbooks, and even create structured FAQs for your intranet. Most of these use cases cost under £50/month to trial.
HiBob bakes AI into everyday decisions
What sets HiBob apart is how deeply its AI is embedded in the flow of HR work:
- Ask Bob answers employee questions instantly (e.g., “Where’s my payslip?”)
- Survey AI extracts sentiment themes from open-text feedback
- AI Compensation Assistant gives managers instant answers like “Is this offer in range?”
- AI Reviews & Reports generate structured summaries and trends from performance data, no spreadsheet needed
Whether you’re writing job ads or reviewing promotion data, HiBob turns what used to be 10-tab tasks into simple, confident decisions.
The secret? Use AI *with* your voice, not *instead* of it
Our strongest recommendation? Make sure AI reflects your tone, values, and culture. Want your job descriptions to sound like you? Prompt the AI to analyse your careers site. Building a chatbot? Write answers in your HR team’s natural voice. AI is a brilliant amplifier — but only when you start with a signal worth amplifying.
