Sourcing and persuading candidates
Human Resources · Recruiter
“Sourcing and persuading candidates” (Human Resources) is projected to see AI enter in 2028 and be largely replaced by 2036.
What this task is
Headhunters and recruiters seek out strong people who are not actively job hunting, contact them through various channels, and persuade them to consider a new opportunity.
How AI replaces it
AI can already search talent pools and draft personalized outreach, but convincing someone to change jobs depends on trust and understanding their situation. AI should take on more sourcing from 2028, with most of it automated around 2036.
What stays human
Recruiters hold in-depth conversations with key candidates about their careers and concerns, negotiate pay and terms, and maintain their talent networks and relationships over the long term.
