But from my side, I'm very curious because, of course, the conversation that's going to unfold is one of those which I think many people are still exploring.

Obviously, it's an AI topic still, but obviously we're bringing it from a slightly different angle today.

What I would love to understand, first of all, because you've been in recruitment for a very long time.

Lots of things have changed throughout your career in terms of how the markets have been perceived, the tools we're using.

But what do you think is going to be the biggest challenge us as the individual contributor recruiters are going to face in the next three years?
I think that one of the biggest challenges that we could face is essentially ending up in a scenario in which we will have agents communicating with agents, unless we actually focus on keeping the focus on the human touch.
I'm personally not concerned because I think that we anyhow as humans need to evolve constantly.
So I'm confident that there are going to be other things that we can add value to, to our expertise.
My concern is not knowing exactly how that will evolve and what would imply, right? Because as I said, I'm not sure yet if it's a good or a bad thing.

yeah i mean i see the i see some of these search and match tools coming out um i can't remember the name of the company they're backed by yc literally got announced i think yesterday they received some funding and not to throw shade at the company at all right there's a place in recruitment for everybody but they're taking the traditional recruitment what i do the agency side they're automating the entire process So the company sends a spec.
