When AI writes the JD, AI writes the resume, and AI does the screening... what's left for the human recruiter?
In this episode of Swipe Right for Talent, Gautam Sinha and Sanjeev Punwani sit down with Akhil Dave — Global HR Head at Rising Pharmaceuticals, former Cipla North America HR Head (scaled the US business 8-10x), and XLRI alumnus.
They unpack:
→ Why high-quality resumes no longer mean high-quality candidates
→ The "Recruiter Paradox" — more AI means MORE need for human judgment, not less
→ Why sourcing is still broken (and LinkedIn isn't helping)
→ Job displacement vs job loss — where the new roles are actually showing up
→ The PhD principle for hiring: Pride, Hustle, Determination
→ What Akhil would look for if he sat across the table at XLRI placements in 2027
Whether you're a TA leader, HR professional, or someone navigating career decisions in the AI era — this one's worth your 30 minutes.
