AI in HR: Real-World Tools for Recruiting, Onboarding, and Staff Support

Part 3 of a 4-part series on AI for A/E/C Administrative Professionals

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just for IT departments or data scientists. It is quickly becoming a valuable tool for those managing HR tasks in A/E/C firms. Whether you are helping draft job descriptions, organizing onboarding materials, or communicating company policies, AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude can make the process smoother, faster, and more consistent.

In this collaborative roundtable, SDA presenters Carrie Hubbard, CDFA, and Justin Hoff, CDFA, will lead an interactive conversation on how admins can apply AI to support real-world HR needs. We will explore easy-to-use prompts, HR software platforms with built-in AI, and the importance of ethical and responsible use when working with sensitive employee data.

This session is designed to be friendly, practical, and admin-focused. Whether you are brand new to AI or ready to help your team adopt it more intentionally, you will walk away with new tools, fresh insights, and the confidence to start small and build from there.
