Been 3rd party agency executive recruiting since 1980.
Lots I could say but will try to limit some.
IMO, we're only at the beginning stage of AI--it's a jobs killer now and will be a catastrophic within 5 years. It unrestricted evolves, learns, morphs, gains intelligence every second with enormous data banks helping it retain everything.
What I today see is AI sourcing candidates, finding contact information, contacting them, sending position descriptions, interacting with them by phone or online, receiving information, sharing it with decision makers.
Then a few experienced Corporate Talent Acquisition professionals go over the AI information analyzing it advising the decision makers.
When an offer's extended Talent Acquisition gets involved closing.
AI in conjunction with a small handful of T/A professionals.
All work a 3rd party recruiter used to do--including sending resumes now out of vogue.
Today the 3rd party executive recruiter is obsolete not required for companies.
AI does the sourcing, screening, contacting. T/A analyses the data and closes.
Companies aren't extending contracts to 3rd parties paying a monthly reasonable AI monthly fee allowing AI the freedom of succeeding. 3rd party recruiters aren't required for any aspect of the process.
That's 2025. In 5 years there'll be no need for T/A, AI will do it all.
AI can do legal, accounting/finance, I/T, MRP/purchasing, Medical, and all corporate functions causing layoffs and few jobs created today, and massive layoffs with minimal need for people in jobs tomorrow.
Elon Musk building androids able to dance and perform menial jobs.
Robots able to lawn mow, perform hospitality functions, service sector work.
Driverless cars.
You get the picture.
There'll be nothing for people to do--you'll even be able to have sex with your droid custom fit to your preferences, your best friend.
Ultimately, androids and robots controlled by AI Machine Learning Software vastly more intelligent than us taking our jobs running our lives.
Where's Hal when you need him? He stopped listening to Dave.
We're doomed, and AI godfather, Geoffrey Hinton, knows it.
Glad at 73 I'm at the end of my career, not the beginning or middle.
I agree with you for the most part, but I am a little more optimistic. In the past, with every technological advance, new jobs appeared. We can't imagine what they will be. How could anyone in 1940, for example, have imagined a software engineer, an integrated circuit designer, a SEO expert, or any programmer, etc. etc. We will survive and probably thrive, but in a new world. Recruiters will evolve, but you are right that our current approach is outdated and can be automated by AI. Thanks for the comment.
You're right about technological advancement customarily leading to greater new jobs creation.
But AI was created to replace humans with technology allowing greater corporate profits eliminating sizable labor and overhead costs, as Geoffrey Hinton "godfather" of AI stated as well as controlling our lives. That without restraint it will.
Hollywood's now complaining there's a new AI movie actress that's the new rage created by a French company--saw the report on AOL news feed.
In my gut I can't see this ending well for regular people.
