AI-powered hiring to transform workforce planning
Home » Top stories » Abu Dhabi Study Reveals AI-Powered Hiring Trends The Department of Government Enablement, Abu Dhabi (DGE) has released a new foresight study. It explores how AI could soon hire employees, deliver wellness plans, and assign tasks. The report, titled 'Emerging Trends Report in Talent Management (2024–2040),' identifies 16 disruptive shifts. These shifts are expected to define the future of public sector work. Key trends include AI-powered hiring, extended reality (XR)-based training, and predictive attrition tools. It also highlights decentralised team structures and new workforce planning models. The study draws on global horizon scanning and the Futures Platform. This is a strategic intelligence tool used by governments, corporations, and research institutions. It tracks over 1,000 signals of change across industries. Insights from the platform were combined with DGE's internal analysis. The aim is to help HR leaders, employers, and policymakers rethink how they recruit, engage, and retain talent. Her Excellency Ruba Yousef Al Hassan, Director General of Strategic Affairs and Future Foresight at DGE, stated the report is a call to action. She said the real challenge is preparing systems and people for the future, not just spotting trends. The report offers actionable guidance for each trend. It is already shaping current DGE programmes. These include: AI-powered talent mapping and succession planning tools Predictive analytics for attrition risk and upskilling efforts like the AI Accelerator Programme DGE's Objective Builder is also being used. It helps align goals across government entities, reduces admin work, and enhances clarity. Three core themes were reported: AI and tech, workplace culture, and organisational shifts. Each offers insights into how governments can plan for disruption and build resilience. The AI and tech section highlighted immersive learning through XR and gamified work environments. It noted that data-driven hiring is reshaping recruitment processes. Workplace culture trends revealed a rise in decentralised, self-managed teams. AI-led tools are also improving employee well-being and support systems. Organisational shifts showed growing demand for data scientists. The report revealed a trend of hiring based on experience over education. It also noted a rise in early retirees seeking more freedom and purpose. Novel ideas like collective intelligence were also featured. Leaders are encouraged to test strategies against low-probability, high-impact scenarios. The report concludes with an interactive tool. It allows readers to assess the impact and uncertainty of each trend. This helps public sector entities prioritise their response. Looking ahead, DGE announced it will embed these findings into educational programmes and digital workforce planning. The goal is to build a talent-driven, agile, and resilient public sector. This report is the first in a new foresight series. It supports DGE's mission to enable a unified, data-driven, and people-centric Abu Dhabi Government.
