The case study examines the degree to which Artificial Intelligence (AI) can advance human resource management (HRM) functions of personnel marketing and recruitment in Kurdistan/Iraq, which is an example of a country that is undergoing a drastic shift when it comes to digitalization. The quantitative research method was adopted, and a survey research was carried out through designed questionnaires to obtain the opinion of hiring managers and recruiters and personnel specialists in the plethora of business organizations Kurdistan offers. The response rate was discovered to be 90 percent in which 180 valid responses were received. The stratified random sample method was used in the provision of the inclusion of other industrial sectors such as the technology, health care, education, manufacturing and services. The work on statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software that guaranteed good and reliable results. Data interpretation was done through regression analysis, chi-square tests and descriptions to obtain the measure of AI implementation, its impact on recruiting efficiency and contribution to more efficient staff marketing solutions. The application of AI-based applications, such as chatbots, predictive analytics and automated resume screening was found to be increasing in popularity. What these tools imply is colossal in the context of enhancing the aspect of recruitment and reaching out to the applicants. Nonetheless, it was also discovered that the survey also displayed the image that there are some crucial challenges, including the inaccessibility of IT tools, reluctance of HR practitioners to develop, fear of information security and influence by algorithms. The findings suggest that AI is able to completely reshape HRM in Kurdistan and Iraq, but one can also get to know that in the long-term view, the AI implementation process cannot be facilitated without the investments in digital infrastructure, education, and ethically oriented systems of values. The current paper offers useful information related to the implementation and the implication of the AI on the HRM within the evolving regional state in addition to useful recommendations to firms that may consider adopting AI in order to attain competitive advantage in the process of recruiting and promoting human resource.

Volume 11 · Issue 6 · December 2024The Trade in Ancient Kurdistan (in the secand half 2nd Mellenium B.C.)
Sara Shorsh Omer, Kameran Mohammed Jalal
The Assyrians were commercially proficient, and Kurdistan was an important place. Trade in the Kurdistan region was at its peak in the second millennium BC, and Mitanni and Khouri controlled power, politics, and religion. And there was a business plan; archaeological digs revealed the following facts: Kurdistan's cities were an important trade gate for merchants, and at the same time, in terms of geographical nature, the plains were rich with crops such as wheat, barley, and sesame, and the mountainous areas were important places for grazing animals such as sheep, goats, and cattle, etc., so tribes were going to the Garman and highlands to find pastures for their livestock. However, they brought goods and raw materials abroad through trade, and the goods and supplies they had not touched had brought them abroad. These areas of Kawa trade with Kurdistan, such as southern Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia, Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt, and Phoenix, etc., have been disclosed to us according to the text of the business text. Kurdistan's trade routes were interconnected between east, west, north, and south, and Kurdistan was a trade strategy center. Part of the trade route settled between the mountain ranges as an important trade route, and another part of the trade route also settled between the mountain ranges as an important trade route. The trade routes have been connected between the plains and areas of the cities, or the trade routes of the mountainous areas and the plains are connected to each other, and the construction of foreign trade routes will thus make the business of this area stronger. What was the importance of Kurdistan in terms of trade? The places where Kawa has exchanged trade with Kurdistan What was the importance of Kurdistan in terms of trade? Where were the places where they exchanged trade with Kurdistan? What were the goods and products exported and imported? The most important commodities were the minerals traded abroad and internally? What were those minerals? Kurdistan trades with the outside world because of the richness of its geography?
