WHY AI CAN’T DO HIRING

AI is really well-suited to automating a bunch of recruiting tasks that humans do now. For instance, AI can take the pain out of tasks like interview scheduling, composing first-draft sourcing emails, tracking candidate progress through a funnel, and more. However, AI is not effective for hiring because companies don’t have the data for engineers that reliably predict whether someone is a good engineer along with other factors. This also means that humans will continue to be bad at hiring because humans also don’t have that data. As a result, AI will help automate the mundane parts of hiring, but cannot really replace the “human” part of hiring.
