THE COMING COBOL-ISATION OF RECRUITING?

I've been thinking about the 'AI Dividend' and who actually gets to keep the change.

Last week on Brainfood Live, we touched on a terrifying thought: if we automate the 'entry level' tasks, how do the next generation of recruiters learn the fundamentals?

It's the Karate Kid problem.

If Daniel-san doesn't have to 'wax on, wax off' because a robot does it for him, he never develops the muscle memory for the real fight.

Basically, we might be creating a future where we have 'SuperWorkers' at the top who know how to prompt the machines, but a hollowed-out middle class of practitioners who don't actually know how to recruit without a screen in front of them.

We're moving toward a world where 'human-in-the-loop' becomes a luxury service.

Have a read of the full essay in this week's newsletter and let me know - are we automating away our ability to learn?

PS: Huge thanks to the team at Metaview for supporting this issue. If you want to see what actual 'intelligence' looks like in an interview, check them out.
