This study examines how organizations' digital and informational foundations influence the efficiency of human resource management practices within the Algerian context. Given the accelerating global adoption of artificial intelligence, we sought to explore whether technological and organizational readiness provides the essential prerequisites for enhancing recruitment effectiveness. Our analysis draws upon data from 147 respondents across diverse Algerian organizations, employing validated instruments to assess AI-enabling digital readiness and HRM efficiency. The findings reveal that Algerian organizations demonstrate moderate levels of digital readiness. Most significantly, we identified a positive and statistically significant association between AI-enabling digital readiness and HRM efficiency (r = 0.349, p < .001). Our results suggest that establishing robust digital infrastructure may constitute a necessary first step toward improving HRM effectiveness. However, we explicitly acknowledge that such foundational capacity alone remains insufficient without addressing the deeper multidimensional aspects of artificial intelligence implementation. The study contributes empirical evidence to the understudied intersection of AI readiness and HRM performance in the North African context, while recognizing the need for future research incorporating AI-specific capability measures
