AI Has Made Hiring Worse—But It Can Still Help

I have been researching, speaking, and writing about the impact of AI in hiring for years, long before large language models entered the mainstream. AI’s deep penetration in recruitment was always likely. People spend much of their lives online, including while working (or pretending to), while firms have invested trillions in digital systems designed to capture, store, and analyze the resulting data from this. A technology like AI, capable of translating this ocean of data into insight was therefore inevitable.
