As a result of the changes caused by Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, unknown or less prominent challenges will be the focus of the operation of organizations and will essentially transform current human resource management (HRM) and its framework and tools. This research aims to identify Industry 4.0 solutions and expected changes in the field of human resources (HR) and for employees and to outline emerging trends of Industry 4.0 that impact HR based on interviews with surveyed companies and a review of the relevant literature. Structured interviews were conducted in this research. After individually processing the responses of each interviewee, the responses were formulated by considering all interviews. This research points out that in terms of HR, recruitment and training are being most affected by the fourth industrial revolution, and changes in competencies and their development processes have begun. Hopefully, the discovered connections will inspire further research and provide useful information on the fields of Industry 4.0 and HR.
