      If firms are the ones using AI, then it isn’t even HR wizards. It’s the geniuses that can manage to pick out the right candidate for a job even though they know nothing about the position, company, location, candidates, or work load.

      They are already throwing out your best candidates because they don’t know what they are doing, but their firm costs less than a couple HR people so the share holders still think it’s a good idea.
