HR: Decision Making Intelligence vs. Artificial Intelligence

The Performance of Recruitment in the Age of AI

I am observing with increasing concern how the current discourse around Artificial Intelligence has turned the executive search process into a mere exercise in keyword optimisation. CVs no longer reflect leadership or resilience; they are surgically engineered to bypass a filter in a matter of milliseconds.

Having spent over 15 years in high-pressure international roles ranging from UK Regulatory Compliance to Leadership Architecture in Spain, I have seen the reality of the boardroom. Yet today, it seems that "on-the-ground" experience, the instinct to resolve a crisis without waiting for a system-generated prompt, is being overshadowed by ATS (Applicant Tracking System) labels.
