"We need more human touch in hiring".. STFU

Heard a bunch of brainiacs say "We need more human touch in hiring" Really? You had it for decades. What the hell did you do with it? You ghosted candidates You sent "we are moving ahead with other candidates" emails after 3 months You judged resumes by fonts and gaps, not potential You let bias, pedigree worship, and first impressions decide someone's future You rejected people because "they didn't seem hungry enough" on one 30-minute call That was your "human touch"... A touch that felt more like a slap, a kick, a gut punch..

Now that AI can: ask sharper questions, give instant feedback, remove bias, remember context, and treat every candidate with consistency…

Suddenly you want more human touch? No.

What you want is less accountability. You want a system you can blame.

Because deep down, you know the truth: AI doesn't lack empathy. It lacks ego.

And that's your real problem. You're not fighting for humanity. You're fighting for control. You're not scared AI will be cold. You're scared it will be better.

The only thing "touchy" in this conversation is your ego. Let that sink in. Then go look a candidate in the eye and ask yourself if you ever gave them what you're so scared to lose.

Because the truth is this: AI didn't kill human touch. You did.

There I said it. Adios Dear brainiac with a fancy title and gobar for brains....
