Although I’m as enthusiastic as ever about the potential power of AI to transform hiring, we must be realistic about what has happened so far. For all the talk aboutAI supercharging talent, we should start with a simpler and far less glamorous reality check. First, talent markets remain as inefficient as ever, with employers struggling to find the right person for the right job, andemployees remain disenchantedwith their jobs and careers. Second, thanks to AI, hiring has become a noisy, crowded arms race of automation, oftenmore inhumanefor both job seekers and hiring managers.
