ROYAL OAK – I sensed a controversial story in an email I received predicting the demise of headhunters.  So I contacted the best headhunter I know, Gary Erickson of Executive Search Partners, to get his input.    The email said that artificial intelligence will eliminate the human factor in trying to help companies find people to fill their open positions.

According to Erickson, it would be nice if that were true.  But we are a long way from Artificial Intelligence.  We are seeing an increase in task automation but no Artificial Intelligence.   The entire 14-minute interview follows.   Gary also offered up some tips on finding your next job.
