The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence in daily business operations is forcing a rethink of traditional recruitment criteria. According to Haptic R&D Consulting, it’s time for HR departments and headhunters to update their ITC skill requirements — and stop treating MS Office proficiency as the gold standard.
“In 2025, AI-powered applications are no longer a novelty — they are the backbone of modern workflows,” said Mr. Daniel Chirtes, expert in public procurement and AI-driven construction technologies at Haptic R&D Consulting. “From drafting complex reports to automating project monitoring, AI tools have replaced many of the manual processes once done in Office suites. The real skill today is AI literacy and adaptability.”
From Legacy Tools to AI-Driven Productivity
Haptic R&D Consulting has been at the forefront of integrating AI into infrastructure and procurement projects. The company has developed advanced software for:
- Real-time on-site project monitoring
- Automated preparation of public tender documentation
- Research and development of new construction materials
These innovations demonstrate that the ability to design, customize, and deploy AI solutions is now more valuable than knowing how to format a spreadsheet.
The HR App That Changes the Game
To support this shift, Haptic R&D Consulting highlights the importance of modern HR tools such as the , which streamlines recruitment, skills assessment, and candidate matching. The app leverages AI to evaluate applicants based on their ability to work with emerging technologies, rather than outdated software checklists.
By integrating such tools, HR departments can:
- Identify candidates with proven AI and digital transformation skills
- Reduce bias towards legacy ITC competencies
- Accelerate hiring for innovation-driven roles
A Call to Action for Recruiters
Haptic R&D Consulting urges HR professionals to revise their job descriptions and evaluation criteria. The company recommends replacing “MS Office proficiency” with “AI literacy” and “digital adaptability” as core requirements for technical and managerial positions.
“The workplace has changed. Hiring mindsets must change too,” Mr. Daniel Chirtes concluded. “AI is not the future of work — it’s the present.”
