Q: What does an AI-ready recruiter look like in 2026, and how big is the gap between ideal and current practice?
An AI-ready recruiter should have a clear process architecture, decision design that includes human judgment, strong team capability, robust data and measurement, and governance and trust; the gap is significant across many organizations, driven by leadership and culture as much as by technology.

Q: What areas of AI adoption in HR are currently genuinely embedded versus still mostly pilots?
Interview scheduling, interview intelligence, and using LLMs to create content seem to be the near-term embedded use cases; deeper value requires rethinking processes, governance, and capability, with a clear vision and consideration of the candidate experience.
