Is recruiter judgement more important in the age of AI? With James Gardner

As AI automates more of the recruitment process, what becomes the real value of recruiters and hiring managers? In this discussion, Adam Gordon is joined by talent transformation expert James Gardner to explore why human judgement may become more important, not less, in the age of AI. Topics include: • Why AI is removing operational work from talent acquisition • The growing importance of assessment and decision-making • Why speeding up bad processes creates bigger problems • Human judgement vs AI-driven hiring decisions • The future of recruiter and hiring manager roles • Skills-based hiring and the decline of CV-led assessment • AI, unconscious bias and the limits of automation • Why the best organisations will combine technology with human expertise If AI handles sourcing, screening, scheduling and administration, what should recruiters focus on next?
