Recruitment is a crucial part in the growth and survival of an organization. Some major challenges faced by companies today in context of recruitment are:

1. Talent shortage

 Many companies are struggling to find the right talent for their open positions. This is especially true in industries with high demand for specialized skills, such as technology, healthcare, and engineering.

2. Bias in hiring

Despite efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, many hiring managers still have biases that can lead to discrimination against certain groups of candidates, such as women, people of color, and those with disabilities.

3. Inefficient processes

Traditional recruitment processes can be slow and cumbersome, making it difficult for companies to find and hire the right candidates quickly. This can lead to lost productivity and increased costs.

4. Lack of transparency

Job seekers often don't have enough information about the hiring process, which can lead to frustration and anxiety. This is especially true when it comes to salary negotiations and feedback on why they were not selected for a job.

5. Increasing use of technology

While technology has the potential to make recruitment more efficient, it also poses several challenges, such as the use of algorithms that can inadvertently perpetuate biases and the lack of personalization in the hiring process.

Overall, the recruitment industry faces significant challenges in attracting and retaining top talent while ensuring fair and efficient hiring practices.

Consciousness is the state of being aware of one's surroundings, thoughts and emotions, a subjective experience of being alive.

Over the past few weeks, seeing a lot of developments and discussions about AI and ChatGPT, I felt like highlighting 2-3 basic points to all of humanity -

1. We are moving fast towards losing consciousness (surrounded by machines, screens) while AI seems to move fast towards gaining it.

2. Seems to me we are in too hurry to prove our intelligence and our ability to do what we can do even if it may go beyond our control.  

3. I think humans are too immature and weak (yes your read it right) to handle strong AI at this point. If it can beat the best of us in chess so early, it may be true in life. 

4. Also, it is taking away lots of jobs and it's just a start. I don't mean AI is not good. But you need to look at larger repercussions for humanity (including yourself) before succumbing to what seems to be a great opportunity for you in 2023.

5. And if nobody seems to care until it is too late, you better prepare and upskill yourself by reflecting on your strengths.
