If you ask five recruiters what they think of AI, you’ll get five different answers, ranging from “total game-changer” to “the end of the profession.”

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

AI isn’t a magic button, and it’s not a death sentence. It’s the perfect tool for subject matter experts who want to cut out the busy work and spend more time where they truly add value. 

That makes it a natural fit for recruiters who know how to leverage it.

But AI has its limits. It’s not human. It doesn’t feel. It can’t build trust or navigate the nuance of candidate conversations.

It won’t make a bad recruiter better, but in the hands of a great one, it can be transformative. It doesn’t work against you. With the right strategies, it can work alongside you.

So, how do you use AI to elevate your impact, not erode it? How do you offload low-level tasks while dialing up the work only humans can do?In this episode, we’re joined by Debra Senra, founder and CEO of Hyphenate.
She shares the real-world promise and pitfalls of AI in recruiting, along with practical strategies for making it work for you.
