The tipping point<\/h2>\n

Imagine this: a recruiter no longer asks \u201cChatGPT, write a job posting.\u201d Instead, she says, \u201cRecruitment agent, fill this position.\u201d You have access to our ATS, our employer brand guidelines, and our budget. Report back when you have three qualified candidates.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And the agent gets to work. Independently. Day and night.<\/span><\/p>\n
