Global Power 150 Women in Staffing, Levelling up in Cities, 1 x brilliant essay on the difference between RPA and AI Agents and inevitably some chat on the US Department of Government Efficiency...
I think most people who talk about this topic look at it from the wrong angle.
The question is actually how humans will react to adopting AI. I see two big groups:
A) Medium to large organisations that realise that it might be cheaper to make a wrong hire from time to time than to make a good one all the time and therefore get rid of their recruiters and external agencies and let AI do a faire chunk of the hiring, because the cost is worth it, even if the AI gets it wrong from time to time.
B) Lazy recruitment agencies or interim agencies recruiting generic profiles who will see AI adoption as a way of seriously cutting down on effort for the first group and costs for the latter and therefore are quite happy with 80% satisfaction rather than 95%.
Both will start (or have already started) replacing recruiters with AI. We are talking about thousands and thousands or recruiter jobs worldwide.
I read that in 2019 (so way before the AI hype started), Unilever "saved" 100,000 hour's worth of recruitment time thanks to AI. That is the equivalent of 52 FTE recruiters. And that is just one organisation.
