Neither can people for the same reason
The difference is that good human recruiters can make some meaningful warm intros, let 2 engineers get in a room together to see if there's chemistry, and get the hell out of the way.
I should make this clearer in the post. "Recruiters can't do hiring... and neither can AI. Both can't because the data's not there."
Scrape 10,000 emails/basic biographics and email blast everyone with an exciting opportunity at an {X} company doing {Y} thing that raised {Z} money. Insert unlimited leave, work life balance, and some other thing no one cares about but the company.
