There's a pervasive narrative that has taken hold of the job market: the "robot recruiter." It’s an autonomous AI, working in a black box, algorithmically rejecting 75% of resumes before a human ever sees them. Candidates are terrified of it, and frankly, many HR leaders are unclear on where the myth ends and the reality begins.

Let's be clear: this "robot recruiter" is a myth.

The reality of AI in hiring is not one of automation; it's one of augmentation. AI isn't replacing the human recruiter; it's redefining them.
