HR teams are stretched thin. As companies grow, so does the complexity, and that means more questions, more systems, more manual work. But adding more headcount or more expense isn’t always an option.
In a new ebook, The New Economics of HR: How AI Agents Are Redefining HR Efficiency, we explore how AI agents are helping HR teams move beyond linear modes of growth. Instead of throwing employees at every new task, leading organizations are deploying AI agents that resolve routine requests instantly—freeing HR to focus on strategy, not tickets.
This isn’t another automation story. AI agents are different:
- They take action, not just provide answers
- They work across systems, not in silos
- They scale instantly, without burnout or bottlenecks
And the results speak for themselves:
- A 3,700-person FinTech company used Wisq’s AI HR Generalist, Harper, to handle employee questions across 100+ global policies. With admin work off their plate, HR shifted focus to performance strategy, leading to measurable improvements in goal quality and development planning.
- McDonald’s cut time-to-hire by 85% by deploying an AI hiring assistant that screens candidates and coordinates scheduling.
- At an 8,000-employee manufacturing firm, a 2-person employee relations team was buried in 300+ monthly cases for a single policy. After implementing Harper, they automated intake, triage, and resolution, cutting time spent from 100+ hours per month to under 10 for a more than 90% reduction in workload.
The traditional HR operating model is breaking. This ebook shows what the Agentic model looks like and the steps to get there.
