WOW! This week on TaPod we catch up with the brilliant Hung Lee to discuss how candidates are gaming the system with AI. This is one of the most interesting podcasts we’ve ever done. It’s thought-provoking and gives us a window into the (not too distant future). Hung always shares some very ‘left field’ thoughts like AI fulfilling the majority of the recruitment process from both sides – interacting back and forth before humans get involved – but where does that leave us? Are we entering the Age of the Terminator?
