The consultancy said so at its investor day, where it detailed how these agents are used in recruitment. Its HR chief credits AI agents with cutting onboarding of entry-level hires from six months to six weeks. Accenture adds that automated screening applies only to candidates who opted in, with at least ten business days to decide. The screening policy appears in Accenture's own public FAQ on AI in hiring.
