The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT), an ROI-led AI transformation firm, today announced AI World Class HR benchmarks – new research that quantifies how artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining workforce performance and reveals a growing gap between organizations pursuing AI-enabled, process-led transformation and those that simply automate existing human resources (HR) processes.

Talent acquisition provides one of the clearest examples of how AI creates enterprise value because improvements in sourcing, screening, hiring and onboarding reinforce one another across the recruiting process. While many organizations focus on automating individual recruiting activities, AI World Class reveals a larger opportunity: redesigning the entire end-to-end talent acquisition process around AI. Across candidate sourcing, screening, interview coordination, hiring and onboarding, improvements reinforce one another. Better decisions upstream reduce effort downstream, creating value throughout the process. The results are significant. AI World Class modeling shows recruiting costs per hire can decline by up to 61%, while recruiter productivity improves by up to 119%. The time to fill positions drops by up to 57%. These gains are not driven by a single automation. They result from reimagining how work flows across the entire talent acquisition process.
