Purpose:In the dynamic and technology-driven era one cannot ignore the role of Artificial intelligence and its integration into numerous human resource practices,especially recruitment. It seeks to investigate the impact of AI adoption on the performance of organizations. AI-enabled recruitment demonstrates a vital role in influencingthe new generation to participate in such selection processes. By embracing digital strategies and technologies, recruiters can effectively attract, engage, and hold crest talent, driving organizational success in a progressively combative world. Design/Methodology/Approach:This study employs a systematic litera ture review approach, sourcing articles from prominent database Scopus. The inclusion criteria encompass articles published between 2021 and 2024, focusing on AI adoption in recruitment processes. Relevant articles are analyzed to extract insights into the application of AI, with a particular emphasis on the factors affecting its adoption. Findings: The findings are categorized into three focal points: (a) the detailed yearly analysis of studies on the adoption of AI in optimal hiring practices, (b) the thematic analysis of studies along with factors influencing AI adoption in recruitment across distinct fields, and (c) future trajectories for research in this domain.Moreover, the study uncovers the impact of AI adoption on organizational performance metrics such as efficiency, cost effectiveness, and talent retention. Research Limitations:This research contributes to the active literature by rendering an all-encompassing review on the adoption of AI in recruitment processes, focusing on its entailment for organizational performance. Managerial Implications: It sheds light on novel perspectives and future trajectories for research in this domain, thereby enhancing the under standing of AI integration in recruitment practices. Originality/Value:By taking cues from the Technology Acceptance Model and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, a universally established theoretical account, this study provides a mechanism to know the espousal and usage of AI technology in HR practices
