AI Is Forcing Recruiting To Be Human Again

In this episode, Edan challenges one of the biggest assumptions in Talent Acquisition: that more automation means less humanity.After years of digitising applications, scorecards and reference checks to survive scale, AI is now removing the manual admin that justified those systems in the first place. If the work disappears, what’s left for recruiters?Using reference checks as the anchor, Edan explores whether AI could actually bring back conversation, judgement and network-driven hiring - and asks a bigger question: what deserves to be human again? 🎙️ 30 Days. 30 Episodes.
