Abstract

With the continuous maturity of AI technology, AI applications can also steadily empower SMEs through big data, cloud computing, and other avenues, thus reducing the threshold of technology application. Therefore, embedding AI into the talent recruitment management system of SMEs is the focus of this study. In order to gain an in-depth insight into the development of this cutting-edge field, this study relies on authoritative databases in the field, such as Scopus, and adopts bibliographic analysis, an advanced and rigorous research methodology, to scientifically and systematically screen and analyse the relevant literature published between 2020 and October 2024. During the screening process, keywords such as "artificial intelligence, talent acquisition, Small and small and medium-sized enterprises" were carefully selected to ensure the relevance of the literature. In addition, this study provides a reference program for other SMEs to build an AI-based talent acquisition management program.
