This month, we expanded our list to celebrate more amazing recruitment experts and influencers. Welcome to Atlas30 – because the more, the merrier!
In June, there was a lot of talk about AI and how it’s changing recruitment. People are excited because AI is seen as working together with human recruiters, not replacing them. The spotlight was on mastering basic recruitment skills while using AI to make big improvements.
In all these discussions, we stress the importance of keeping the human touch when using AI. We see recruiters and AI as a team that can improve recruitment outcomes and ultimately make more placements.
