## Description

The recruitment market is changing dramatically — again — and those of us in HR are barely noticing. Rather than addressing and adapting to these significant changes, we are ignoring them completely. The shift to conversational job searching alone is turning our recruitment process on its head. With the addition of AI agents, we must rethink our processes and our technological setup. 
In this lecture, I would like to draw attention to the underestimated changes and highlight the dramatic nature of the situation, so that no one is caught unawares.
