By 2030, sourcing, screening, scheduling and other administrative processes could look very different, with technology taking on more of the operational workload.
But as automation increases, a bigger question emerges: what parts of recruitment are uniquely human, and what would we want to protect?
At RecFest UK, Ibrahim Thomas, Tracy Chau, Nikhilesh Mathur and Will Dempsey take part in a fast-moving, audience-interactive debate exploring the elements of talent acquisition that remain most valuable in an increasingly AI-enabled world.
Exploring the human side of recruitment
By moving beyond the technology itself, you can consider the parts of recruitment that cannot easily be automated.
The discussion explores the value of conversations, instincts, relationships and experiences that shape great hiring decisions, and asks whether organisations are doing enough to preserve these human elements today.
A debate about what comes next
As the role of talent acquisition continues to evolve, understanding where humans add the greatest value will become increasingly important.
Rather than focusing on what technology can replace, this session challenges leaders to think about what should remain at the heart of recruitment and how the profession can protect the moments and interactions that matter most.
Watch the full RecFest UK session to hear Ibrahim Thomas, Tracy Chau, Nikhilesh Mathur and Will Dempsey debate the future of talent acquisition and explore what we would miss most if it disappeared.
