Automation, AI, and the future of the recruitment industry

The UK recruitment industry has historically had an open mind about technology: wherever possible, it's been an enthusiastic early adopter of new software and services. It's not hard to see why. Engaging with people is at the very heart of recruitment: it's why people get into the business. Everything else – the data entry, the meeting preparation, the reporting – is just process, and while it's certainly important, the less involved a recruiter is with it, the better. And yet, Bullhorn's 2018 UK Recruitment Trends Report suggests a degree of hesitance around technological adoption.
