AI in HR? Here’s How HR Duo Is Doing It Right

Written by HR Duo | 14 Jul 2025

At HR Duo, we don’t chase tech trends. Our platform is built around solving real workforce management challenges, from compliance and workforce visibility to recruitment, onboarding, and employee relations. That’s why when it comes to AI, we’ve taken a practical, measured approach.

AI isn’t a headline feature in HR Duo. It’s a quiet but powerful enhancement designed to support your team, not replace them. Whether you’re managing HR in-house or overseeing operations across multiple sites, HR Duo gives you the tools to reduce admin, stay compliant, and make better decisions faster.

This summer, we’ve added three new AI-powered features to make that support even smarter. Enhancements that work alongside the core tools our users already rely on:

  • AI-generated job descriptions that save time and improve consistency
  • CV anonymisation to reduce unconscious bias in hiring
  • Instant translations for company information and guidance to make your HR content more accessible

With employment law tightening across the UK and Ireland, and regulatory oversight increasing, HR teams need more than spreadsheets or generic templates. We want to help you do more with less, not by cutting corners, but by giving you and your line managers practical automation backed by real HR expertise.

1. Job Description Generator

Writing job specs isn’t why you got into HR. But clear, engaging job descriptions are key to attracting the right talent. In fact, according to research carried out by Indeed, 52% of job seekers say the quality of a job description significantly impacts their decision to apply.

Many managers either reuse outdated templates, rely on HR to fill the gaps, or avoid the task altogether. That leads to vague, inconsistent postings that confuse candidates and slow down hiring. HR Duo’s AI-powered Job Description Generator solves this. Managers input a few key details, and within seconds, they receive a fully structured job description

Simply input:

  • A Job title
  • The department or team
  • Any must-have qualifications/skills

And HR Duo will generate:

  • A company introduction aligned with your brand
  • Key responsibilities tailored to the job
  • Clearly structured requirements to help filter better candidates

On average, it takes 1–2 hours to draft a clear, well-written job description. Multiply that across roles, and it’s a clear drain on internal resources. This enhancement empowers line managers to take ownership of hiring, while ensuring HR retains consistency and compliance across every job post.

2. CV Anonymisation 

Did you know that more than one in three Gen Z workers believe they have experienced discrimination during a hiring process? Hiring bias isn’t always intentional, but it’s still damaging. Manual shortlisting often carries unconscious bias, even before a candidate walks through the door. Names, ages, addresses, and educational history can unintentionally influence decisions.

HR Duo’s CV Anonymisation tool helps eliminate this problem by automatically removing personal identifiers from CVs during screening, including:

  • Names
  • Gendered language
  • Dates of birth
  • Nationality details

This allows your hiring team to focus on what matters most to filling open roles: the skills, experience, and potential of a candidate. It also supports your diversity goals without needing extra admin or new systems.

3. Information and Guidance Translation

Modern workforces are diverse, and so is the language they speak. In the UK and Ireland alone, over 5 million people speak English as a second language, with many frontline or shift-based roles filled by non-native speakers. Yet too often, crucial HR information is delivered in English only, creating gaps in understanding, engagement, and compliance.

HR Duo now solves this. With support for 30+ languages, employees can instantly translate key HR documents and guidance directly in the platform. No need for external tools, manual workarounds, or back-and-forth with HR.

Why translating HR content for your employees matters

  1. If employees don’t fully understand your policies, they can’t follow them. That leads to accidental breaches, increased risk of disputes, and weaker legal protection for the business. Translating policies ensures everyone knows what’s expected and what they’re entitled to.
  2. From onboarding to performance management, employees deserve clear, equal access to company information. Providing documents in their preferred language supports inclusivity, engagement, and trust.
  3. Line managers no longer need to interpret or explain policies manually. HR no longer needs to chase clarifications or reissue guidance. It’s all built in, clearly communicated, accurately translated, and fully trackable.
  4. Clarity boosts confidence. When people feel understood, they’re more likely to stay, contribute, and comply. This feature supports multilingual teams while helping you create a respectful, high-performing workplace.

AI That Supports, Not Distracts

We’re not chasing trends. These features are part of our ongoing focus: helping organisations reduce admin, improve accuracy, and empower managers to make better decisions, without growing the HR headcount.

Over the coming months, we’ll expand these features further as we move towards a more intelligent, assistant-powered experience inside HR Duo. Until then, these three tools are ready to help you get more done, more fairly, in less time. See them in action with a free demo of the full platform today
