Where this job sits on the map

In the same group: 78 of 100 professions.

What changes

  1. Job posts, candidate emails and onboarding materials get written in minutes, not an evening

  2. Resumes get screened faster, but scrutiny for bias is tighter: in the EU, the AI Act classes candidate-screening systems as high risk

  3. More time is left for interviews, onboarding new hires and working with hiring managers

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • Writes a job post from the hiring manager's notes and adapts it for LinkedIn, Indeed and other job boards
  • Compares resumes with the requirements and explains why a candidate fits or doesn't
  • Prepares interview questions and a scoring rubric for the answers
  • Turns a recorded interview into notes, with the candidate's consent
  • Builds a 30-60-90-day onboarding plan
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • The decision to hire, reject or terminate, and responsibility for it
  • Checking that screening doesn't filter out people by sex, age or other protected characteristics
  • Hard conversations: conflicts, performance reviews, parting ways with an employee
  • Candidates' personal information: what may go into an AI tool and what may not
