AI in Talent: Why It Matters (and When It Doesn’t)
AI is everywhere in recruiting right now. And depending on who you ask, it’s either the future of TA… or a compliance nightmare wrapped in a shiny demo.
In this episode of Talentless, Ashley King and Desiree Goldey cut through the hype and talk about what AI actually does well in talent, what it does dangerously wrong, and why the biggest risk isn’t the tech. It’s the humans using it without guardrails.
We get into:
Why AI isn’t the villain, but people using it without limits absolutely are
The difference between automation vs. AI (and why most teams confuse the two)
Where AI can genuinely help recruiters: admin work, sourcing, templates, strategy prep
Why AI should never be the final decision-maker in hiring
Candidate experience: where “efficient” starts to feel cold and gross
How AI interviews and avatars can create new bias (dialect, culture, speech patterns, “presence”)
The compliance reality: it doesn’t have to “decide” to still influence outcomes
The underrated concern: environmental impact (your prompt isn’t free, babes)
A practical takeaway for TA leaders: create prompt libraries so recruiters show up as partners, not order-takers
Bottom line: AI can give TA time back. But only if the process and the people using it are ready. And right now? The class is… not ready.
