This conversation between Laura and Rachel Cupples, a strategic Talent Acquisition Pro, examines what is changing in talent acquisition as AI becomes more embedded in recruiting and job searching. The discussion looks at what is being automated, what should remain human, and whether the industry is losing sight of the connection between intent and impact. It also explores the challenges job seekers face, including the conflicting expectations around AI use: employees may be encouraged to use AI at work while being penalized for using it during a job search. The conversation challenges recruiters and organizations to question AI solutions that promise too much, return to the fundamentals of effective recruiting, and give talent acquisition professionals the time and authority to do strategic, advisory work. Ultimately, the episode asks HR and recruiting leaders to look more closely at the people making decisions, the processes behind those decisions, and whether technology is actually improving the experience it is meant to support.
