AI in HR: Redeploying Talent and Upskilling Instead of Cutting Jobs

HR in the AI Era: How Coralogix Is Adapting

“Rather than head-count cuts, we reallocate,” says Talia Rantser, VP HR at Coralogix. The company has increased its upskilling budgets since AI tools have taken over repetitive tasks. This approach is both cost-effective and considerate, focusing on redeploying existing staff rather than replacing them.

According to Rantser, AI has removed busywork from many roles without eliminating them. HR functions, which heavily rely on human interaction for employee support and problem solving, still require a human touch despite AI's growing presence.

AI’s Impact on HR and Operations

On a disruption scale from 1 to 10, AI rates an 8 for Coralogix overall and a 6 specifically for HR. The technology accelerates workflows and frees employees from routine tasks, letting them focus on more meaningful work. For example, developers get AI-generated code suggestions, support teams receive AI-assisted ticket replies, and marketing drafts content quickly.

In HR, AI tools handle initial resume screenings, anonymize candidate information to reduce bias, and manage interview scheduling. Internally, AI bots answer FAQs and monitor team morale via dashboards. Generative AI drafts job ads, training materials, and policy updates, which HR then customizes.

AI Replacing Busywork, Not People

AI has automated first-pass résumé screening, basic support-ticket replies, routine HR data pulls, and boilerplate code generation. This shift allows coordinators, support agents, analysts, and junior developers to focus on higher-value tasks such as proactive candidate engagement, complex customer support, data storytelling, and advanced coding.

Coralogix emphasizes that no layoffs have occurred due to AI. Instead, the company reallocates staff to roles like customer success or analytics, where AI complements human skills. New roles are emerging in data science and AI enablement within the company.

Current Challenges in HR

• Upskilling: Preparing employees and HR teams to work effectively and ethically alongside AI tools, while reassuring them about career stability.
• Well-being and retention: Managing employee morale amid economic headwinds such as funding slowdowns, inflation, and local security concerns requires empathy, transparency, and creative engagement beyond monetary incentives.

Security and Workforce Stability

The October 2023 conflict affected about 10% of Coralogix’s Israeli staff, who were called to reserve duty. This situation led to rapid shifts to remote work and ongoing emotional strain. HR responded with flexible scheduling, mental health support, workload adjustments, and open communication lines—measures still in place as security tensions persist.

Workforce Strategy Amid AI and Market Changes

Coralogix is shifting hiring focus away from repetitive support and data-entry roles toward customer success, analytics, data science, and AI-related positions. Upskilling budgets are growing to support this internal redeployment strategy.

The global market slowdown has moved the company from hyper-growth to “smart growth.” Hiring is now more selective and aligned with revenue, with some roles relocated to cost-effective regions like India and the US to manage geopolitical and payroll risks. Contingency plans allow recruiting to be paused or accelerated as needed.

Outlook for 2025–2026

Coralogix expects growth in AI-focused R&D, product development, and go-to-market teams. While hiring sprees are off the table due to efficiency gains and budget caution, demand for their observability platform and geographic expansion will require more staff than currently employed.

For HR professionals, Coralogix’s approach offers a clear example of how to balance AI integration with human-centered workforce management. Upskilling and redeployment can preserve jobs and morale, while AI handles routine tasks to boost productivity.
