Agentic workflows are taking over top-of-funnel recruiting. Workable CEO @moraitakis is direct about it: once you've seen an AI Agent own that work, you don't go back. So what happens to recruiters? The role is shifting toward the bottom of the funnel and becoming far more consultative. Success will belong to recruiters who can advise leadership, guide hiring decisions, and add judgment, not just collect information. Calling a candidate and taking notes isn't judgment. Telling a VP of Engineering why their job description is filtering out the wrong people, or pushing back on a hiring decision, that's judgment. That's where human expertise holds.
