Do you think AI will replace recruiters in 6 months?

My LinkedIn feed has been a complete warzone - recruiters having existential crises, HR scrambling to "AI-proof" their jobs.

This feels like classic "AI will replace [insert job]" panic. But recruitment isn't just screening resumes and scheduling calls.

There is no doubt that AI crushes grunt work (parsing applications, basic screening, sourcing, scheduling)

But the best, experienced recruiters can handle the nuanced stuff - hybrid work negotiations, unique compensation packages, reading between the lines when candidates have gaps or complex situations.

Recruiters: What part of your job is actually irreplaceable? And up to what degree would you be okay with automating the manual work?

Everyone else: Would you trust AI to make final hiring decisions?

Six months feels aggressive, but we're definitely at an inflection point.
