  • Rebecca Carr: How AI creates 'superhuman' recruiters & why jobs won't exist
    Sep 1 2025

    Will AI replace recruiters, or make them 'superhuman'? What's the real story behind the SAP acquisition of Smartrecruiters? And why will the concept of a 'job' no longer exist in a few years?

    Rebecca Carr, CEO of Smartrecruiters, dives deep into these questions with host Ron Simpson. She shares her vision for a future where technology radically transforms the hiring process, putting the focus back on human connection.


    In this interview, Rebecca discusses:


    - The 'superhuman' recruiter: How AI acts as a 'super suit' to make hiring faster, smarter, and more strategic.

    - The radical transformation of Smartrecruiters: how they threw out the old roadmap to fully embrace an AI-driven future.

    - Why the concept of a 'job' will disappear, replaced by the dynamic matching of people to projects and skills.

    - The story behind the SAP acquisition and how it actually accelerates their vision.

    - Her plan to boil recruitment down to four crucial human decisions within 18 months.

    - Why "making hiring easy" should be the ultimate, yet elusive, mission for the entire industry.


    Unfortunately, Rebecca can't be there in person, but her colleague Rob Simons will be sharing more insights at the Global Talent Strategy & Intelligence Conference. Learn more about the event:

    Jess Von Bank, a passionate advocate for human-centric work design and speaker at the Global Talent Strategy & Intelligence Conference, tackles these provocative questions with host Ron Simpson.

    - The inevitable redesign of jobs, skills, and the entire system of work driven by AI.

    - Why we must embrace the mentality that "change is the strategy, not the enemy".
