It also considers the mediating role of the quality of the recruiter decision in these associations.Design/methodology/approach:The type of research design was quantitative and cross-sectional. Business analytics methods, including reliability analysis, validity testing, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis, were applied to examine the relationships among the study variables. A sample of 380 HR professionals was used to gather data using a structured questionnaire that contained 25 Likert-scaled items. Statistical and acceptable validity. There were normal distributions of data, and the correlations between variables were positive and significant. Regression analysis demonstrated that the accuracy of the AI system, AI efficiency, and ease of use were major predictors of talent acquisition outcomes. Recruiter decision quality was also a significant mediator that enhanced the relations between AI features and recruiting effectiveness.Implications:The research paper emphasises the need to incorporate AI technologies into the recruitment processes to improve the quality of the decisions and fairness, as well as the quality of the hiring. Companies implementing AI-based recruitment systems will have higher chances of attaining faster, more uniform, and successful talent acquisition results.
