Agentic AI refers to autonomous artificial intelligence systems capable of perceiving context, making decisions, taking actions, and continuously learning within HR processes. Unlike traditional AI, which provides recommendations, agentic AI acts independently, managing entire workflows such as recruiting from sourcing candidates to onboarding and beyond.
