"With AI-powered talent scouts, the traditional job application process is reversed. Employers receive curated lists of candidates based on AI recommendations and then invite candidates to apply."

I'll remain healthily skeptical about AI in this realm but if it could perform the above in some improved new way, that would be a rather welcome development for the very messy...and taxing process of job searching for candidates.

My sense is that all of the 3rd party recruiting has popped up as a symptom mitigating measure for orgs that "just don't have the time to find candidates" but it's made things worse than better, thus, it's likely to be beneficial to remove this problematic layer from the system.

The only thing is if the AI is being trained on the data of everything we've been doing wrong to date, then we can expect that it might also simply makes things worse over time. Garbage in garbage out.

Again, if it can somehow learn to perform the above role differently, then that might be a welcome development and great use of AI.

Do these AI talent agents already exist or were these predictions of what is to come?
