Artificial Intelligence is often discussed as a tool that uses data, but a far more transformative shift is underway: AI is now actively creating data within digital recruitment ecosystems. This shift is redefining how organisations identify, assess, and engage talent, moving beyond static CVs into dynamic, continuously evolving candidate intelligence.
