"With AI-powered talent scouts, the traditional job application process is reversed. Employers receive curated lists of candidates based on AI recommendations and then invite candidates to apply."
I'll remain healthily skeptical about AI in this realm but if it could perform the above in some improved new way, that would be a rather welcome development for the very messy...and taxing process of job searching for candidates.
My sense is that all of the 3rd party recruiting has popped up as a symptom mitigating measure for orgs that "just don't have the time to find candidates" but it's made things worse than better, thus, it's likely to be beneficial to remove this problematic layer from the system.
The only thing is if the AI is being trained on the data of everything we've been doing wrong to date, then we can expect that it might also simply makes things worse over time. Garbage in garbage out.
Again, if it can somehow learn to perform the above role differently, then that might be a welcome development and great use of AI.
I have no affiliation with Indeed of any kind, but I can honestly say that I was very impressed by the demos. The Indeed team is also being honest in saying that everyone is still figuring out how to leverage AI. It's unchartered territory, and there is a lot of testing and experimentation happening right now.
How to deal with bias in the training data came up either at this conference or the one I attended a week earlier. Someone made an interesting point. It's impossible to remove bias, and bias in itself is not inherently wrong. The challenge is deciding what to do about it.
Hopefully the experimentation orients toward what a better experience might look like from a new foundational paradigm and perspective vs. "How can AI improve the way things have always been done?"
It's a great opportunity for a reset for something that has become increasingly broken over the years through repeated layers of haphazard "digital transformation."

I agree 100%.
Do these AI talent agents already exist or were these predictions of what is to come?
They've already developed the initial version of it and demoed the app at the event, but it's not live yet.
Wow, they sound impressive, I look forward to seeing them when they are live
