I'm not a huge fan of screening of CVs using AI.

And I also don't really like AI being used to replace the interview process.

People work for people and people want to be hired by people.

So I would always hesitate caution when it comes to taking this AI project too far in recruitment, because like that person you're speaking of, I would find it incredibly frustrating if I never got to deal with a candidate.

And I just mentioned it.

My own wife has recently been hired and she had a really brilliant experience with a really well-known Irish company.

And the big thing for her was she had a recruiter who she felt was on her side, you know, letting her know, I'm rooting for you here.

You're meeting this person, that person, that person.

Here's some tips.

And immediately afterwards, how did you get on?

So I think that for me is something that I think Irish people are much better at.

than some of our counterparts and actually some research said that we're much more empathetic than our say German and UK counterparts.

I don't think we want to lose that within our hiring process.

Yeah, do you know what I feel for them?

I really do.

There's never a nice new story that comes out when you hear people are at risk of losing their jobs.

Having said that, what I would say for these people in particular, they are going to be highly sought after individuals.

They're working for one of the biggest companies in the world.

They're going to have a huge skill set.

They're going to be sought after by many big organizations.
