Manage employee referral programs

The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Manage employee referral programs is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: The focus is the APQC process 'Manage employee referral programs' within the 'Recruit, source, and select employees' HR category. Although the broader Human Capital category tends to be hybrid (0.4–0.7) due to in-person interactions, this specific process—creating recruiting strategies, tracking referred candidates, and managing reward payouts—is overwhelmingly administrative and desk-based. Lacking child occupations, the process description strongly indicates digital information transformation and coordination.
