What an AI HR Assistant Handles for a Small Team

When you're small, "HR" isn't a department — it's a pile of admin that lands on whoever has a minute. An AI HR assistant takes the repetitive, form-shaped parts off your plate so the human parts get your full attention.

What it handles

• Drafts job posts from a few notes about the role, in your voice.
• Screens the applications you share with it against what you actually need, and drafts a shortlist with quick briefs.
• Builds onboarding checklists so new people start smoothly — accounts, intros, first-week goals.
• Drafts answers to routine policy questions (PTO, expenses, hours) from your own handbook, for you to review.
• Keeps the team warm — drafts thank-yous and milestone notes from the dates you share, and drafts a check-in when you tell it someone's stretched.

What still needs you — always

People decisions are the one place to be careful with AI:

• Hiring and firing are your calls, full stop.
• Anything sensitive — a complaint, a performance issue, pay — is for a human, in private.
• Compliance and employment law vary by location and change often. Use a qualified professional; don't rely on an AI answer for anything legal.

The line to hold

Let AI handle the paperwork of HR. Keep the people part human. Everything it drafts comes to you first.
