🎙️ Is AI making recruitment more efficient—or are we automating away the very thing that makes recruiters valuable?

In this episode, we explore the growing tension between automation and human connection in recruitment. From AI bias and legal risks to candidate backlash and commoditization, we discuss why the future belongs to agencies that are tech-enabled but human-driven.
