ChatGPT continues to mesmerize those in Human Resources, not to mention everywhere else. It dazzles people with its ability to respond as a human (or even better than a person would). While humans are the only ones who can put the human in Human Resources, there are many ways ChatGPT and similar artificial intelligence technology can help HR do its job.

Join NowOne obvious way to utilize ChatGPT is to have it write job descriptions. So, HR Exchange Network recently asked the technology to, "Provide examples of job descriptions that remove bias, offer details of the job role, and are transparent." Here are the results and the HREN analysis of each:
Job Description: Marketing Coordinator
HREN Analysis: This job description offers a detailed overview of the position. Considering the vague details provided to ChatGPT, this one includes specific information that can help people gauge whether it is worth applying. Some might argue that the requirement for a bachelor's degree could be a sign of bias. That might even be true of the requirements for proficiency in various software because companies can train people with a capacity for learning and digital awareness.
Still, this is not for a junior role and many are still requiring that piece of paper for certain positions. In addition, some companies might be searching for someone, who can hit the ground running and does not require much training. People will have to remove that bias before ChatGPT can.
