What should recruiters refuse to automate?
For April Ben-Sabat, the answer is simple: the human connection.
Automation can help with efficiency, but once a conversation begins, candidates can immediately tell when the interaction feels generic or AI-generated.
And in a crowded market, that matters.
One candidate even responded after being contacted on LinkedIn to say they were not looking right now, but would come back in the future because April’s outreach felt genuine compared with competitors.
That is a major win.
Especially in a competitive space like legal recruiting, authenticity can be the reason someone actually responds.
Use technology to scale the process.
But do not automate away the part that makes people trust you.
