Hear me out! With ML and AI coming in, we can filter out all necessary resumes and auto send a form to fill. If 7/10 criteria’s match, auto send an invite for a 1-1 with the HM. Why do we still need recruiters at all? Auto setups take maybe weeks, maximum months. Rules are set. All we gotta click is play and let recruitment happen. It’s basically sweet talking (which can be skipped) and follow ups (which can be automated), and updating the HR system( tools exists already) Tc : 195k

Another CapOne product person here. Had the worst time having to go through loops of fake smiling recruiters who keep passing notes as they kept going on PTOs. I see what you’re sayin. It’s not unrealistic but also extremely heartless and business oriented. Start a company! Bay Area will invest for sure.
If there are 400 applicants and 35 match criteria. You expect the manager and team to read all 35 resumes, and meet with all 35 qualified applicants?
It’s not the worst thing. I recruit and I do go through 20-30 applications myself for a role. Still if you really want to simplify: Applicants over 15 -> mini quiz x total months of experience. So a slightly more experienced person gets an edge even if they score 2 points lesser than a new joinee
They do the first round of manual screening using natural intelligence.
And each set of eyes are over about $100k a year?
It’s also a mouth, spitting honey over candidates ears.
Another brain dead SWE who thinks the recruiter answering his emails and calls is the extent of their work… 95% of what they do is interfacing with the business and wrangling hiring managers who have no idea what they want.
You are assuming that every job has qualified applicants. Recruiters do a lot of sourcing. (Look for specific qualifications in specific companies and reach out to attract candidates). When jobs have a ton of applicants, short listing is harder than you think. There’s a massive human factor here. During a job intake, hiring managers will list what they’re looking for to the recruiter. There are many intangibles. Some jobs get hundreds of applicants (hard to short list, HM don’t have time to review all that, reach out for a screen, discuss salary expectations, review visa/immigration status, explain relocation policy, organise interviewing panels, collect feedback, put offers together and negotiate etc etc). Fairly high administrative load. I can see how technology will make this better, but it will be a while until recruiters could be eliminated. Also, massive EQ factor. Fit for the team, other skills than technical. Recruiters can really be an ally and advocate for you.
