The rise of artificial intelligence and robotics in the workplace is inevitable, but what does that mean for the recruitment industry? With robots building everything from our computers to our cars, there is always the fear that the human workforce will become redundant in the future. Researchers from Oxford University found that over the following 20 years, 35% of current jobs in the UK are at high risk of computerisation. Artificial intelligence offers benefits such as efficient management of time, speed, precision and costs less than hiring an employee to perform the same job. Although this may seem impressive, robots lack human emotion, judgement and the ability to think independently. These traits are important in many industries, one of them being recruitment.
