AI in the workplace
During the hiring process, 28% suspected that a candidate used AI tools during interviews or assessments. Due to concerns about fairness, effectiveness, or compliance, 31% have stopped using an AI tool in the hiring process; 28% have adopted new ones.
In the workplace, data showed that 24% employees observed using AI tools without formal guidance. Some 23% observed employees automating parts of their jobs independently; 20% experienced employees raising concerns about privacy, accuracy, or fairness of AI use.
Moreover, the study found that over half (51%) of HR leaders are actively looking to replace their HR platform with a single, integrated solution that can handle global payroll, compliance, and reporting.
Job van der Voort,CEO & co-founder at Remote, said: “As businesses navigate talent shortages, regulatory complexity, and the trend towards global hiring, HR teams need a mix of broad capabilities, analytics, automation, and agility to succeed. Automating low-value tasks and augmenting capabilities with AI offers a promising payoff, and businesses that invest in integrated HR tools, responsible AI adoption, and change management will thrive in this new world of work.”
Remote’s Global Workforce Report 2025 surveyed more than 3,600 business leaders of companies across 10 countries, including 250 leaders in Singapore.
