Once recruiting decision-makers fine-tune their requirements, technology like AI that is used in the recruiting process can improve both sides of the hiring process. For example, a strong TA system powered by AI can help recruiters focus on skills rather than experience. One of the challenges recruiters face is that there is no common language for skills. Across different industries, companies, and roles, the same skill may go by many different names. For example, someone with competencies working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript may just call that entire skill set "web design" on their resume, instead of breaking out each individual skill.

When we talk about the jobs at risk, artificial intelligence is often seen as the main threat. However, this technology is still at its very beginning, while a lot of jobs are already transforming and even disappearing. Conversely, other jobs seem to resist, even if technologies already exist to replace them. You don't need to be an expert to observe how some jobs are already dying, and the supermarket cashier is one of the most typical examples. For some years, increasing numbers of cashiers have been replaced by self-checkout machines, several of which can be run by one employee… The same can be seen in the fast-food restaurants, at the cinema, at the airport, etc.
