Kim Pope, Executive Vice President of Global Client Solutions at WilsonHCG, spoke to Recruitment International about common myths within the talent RPO industry.

She talked about the myth that robots will replace recruiters.

"Technology has helped to make the role of a recruiter a lot more efficient and will continue to do so, but it will never replace recruiters. Technology is an enabler.
