    In this episode, hosts Andrew Gadomski and Jason Roberts dive into the current state of AI in recruitment, discussing its limitations and potential. They explore why most AI solutions today lack true creativity and are merely automating repetitive tasks rather than bringing innovative solutions to the table. Key topics include the challenges of end-to-end automation in recruitment, the inefficiencies in candidate scheduling and follow-up, and the increasing problem of fraudulent applications. They also discuss the need for integrated workforce planning with AI, and the future of recruiting technology that could better filter and pre-screen candidates, possibly leading to agents interacting with candidates' own AI agents for a more streamlined hiring process.
