To say the subject of Tech eradicating human recruiters, has had a fair amount of air time recently is like saying Bill Gates is 'well off'.

If you could delve back through the history of LinkedIn, it feels like this topic comes and goes like the changing of the tide. And each time it does, there are swathes of armies on each side fighting to the death. Or the LinkedIn equivalent, which I suppose is a 24 hour shadow ban.

Those on the side of Tech? Anyone who's fallen afoul of recruiters at some point in their past. Which is seemingly most of the general public.

Those on the side of recruiters? Well, recruiters mainly.

But I have to say I was recently swayed quite heavily toward the former. That's not to say I'm against recruiters in any way. I was one.

But I remember my first week working for SourceBreaker. I sat down for a demo with head honcho Steve and was sort of blown away.

Having already seen a product demo, admittedly about 7 years ago, I already knew the general premise.

But what he'd built then, presumably from a dark bedroom in his family home - as most founders seem proud to tell you - was naturally a little more unpolished than the snaring Tech beast he unleashed upon me.

Wait, don't leave, this isn't a plug

Honestly, I'm not trying to sell you anything.
