Did you know that 48% of small businesses started using AI last year, according to the Small Business AI Adoption survey by SBEC? This is because AI is helping these businesses go head-to-head with the industry giants.
For years, large companies dominated their respective industries thanks to their easy access to top talents and vast resources. But things are changing. Today, smaller companies are using AI to close the gap in talent acquisition and, in some cases, outpace their larger competitors. AI is leveling the playing field by allowing small businesses to operate more efficiently, make smarter decisions, and innovate quickly—all without the need for massive resources.
Take hiring as an example. It’s hard for smaller companies to compete with the big names when it comes to attracting top talent. Larger businesses usually have more money and resources to spend on recruitment. But with AI, small companies can level the playing field. AI speeds up the hiring process by automating tasks like screening resumes, scheduling interviews, and even following up with candidates. This means small companies can act fast when the right talent comes along, sometimes beating larger competitors to the punch.
According to a Survey by Phenom, AI can reduce the time spent on resume screening by 75%
But it’s not just about finding the right people—it’s about keeping them too. And that’s where AI really shines. Once you’ve hired top talent, AI makes it easy to keep them engaged. Self-service AI portals let employees manage things like time off requests, upcoming schedules, timesheets, and performance reviews on their own. It gives them more control over their work life, which leads to happier, more engaged employees. Plus, HR teams don’t have to spend as much time on manual tasks, reducing the administrative workload.
