Generative AI has become an important commercial imperative for Indian companies and most businessmen are giving priority to AI. This has revealed this from a report. However, a report by professional networking platform LinkedIn states that finding the accurate AI and related skill professionals for the use of the entire capacity of technology remains an important challenge for these companies. According to the report, about 54 percent of HR professionals in India have said that only half or even less applicants have all the necessary and favorite qualifications of the applications for the job.
People with these skills lack
The biggest challenge is to find candidates with the right technical skill (61 percent) and the skill of connecting people ie soft skills (57 percent) for HR professionals. The report said, “The most difficult skills in India include technical/ IT skills such as software development, engineering (44 percent), AI skills (34 percent) and skills such as communication and problem-solution (33 percent).” This shortage of qualified candidates for employment is forcing companies to be selective in their recruitment processes.
Companies doing selective recruitment
According to the report, companies are adopting the method of ‘selective recruitment’ in the year 2025. In terms of the needs of the selective recruitment organization, there is a process of appointment and selection of the right people with appropriate qualities. The report states that more than half of HR professionals in India will consider only those candidates (55 percent) and recruitment (54 percent) who fulfill 80 percent or more criteria of the qualification prescribed for the job. Anand, the head of talent and learning solutions in LinkedIn, stressed on prioritizing skills for recruitment, saying, “AI is changing our way of appointing and developing AI talent, but the real challenge is to make AI workable for business.” Often companies put resources in the AI tool without the right talent, due to which they are unable to take advantage of the dice overturning opportunity. He said, “To get out of this cycle, companies need to be hired with the mentality of giving priority to skills. AI can be innovated, but human skills like creativity, communication and cooperation will help companies to be really ahead of change. ‘
