Virtual Event

In this episode, Grace sits down with Ali to talk about how recruiting is evolving as humans and AI begin working side by side. They explore how AI agents are taking on repetitive tasks like screening, scheduling, and early interviews, freeing recruiters from back-to-back calls and manual work.

Ali shares how this shift allows recruiters to focus on higher-impact work such as strategic sourcing, pipeline design, and assessing real signal. Rather than replacing human judgment, AI creates space for it, making recruiting more effective, more human, and ultimately more rewarding for everyone involved.
