I think you are being unfairly downvoted as you raise a valid point. The real question is whether 'prompt engineering' has an edge over 'human resource management' ( as this is the obvious end goal here ). At this time, the answer is relatively simple, but I am not certain it will remain so.
No.

prompt engineering is nothing but an attempt to reverse-engineer a non-deterministic black box for which any of the parameters below are unknown:
- training set
- weights
- constraints on the model
- layers between you and the model that transform both your input and the model's output that can change at any time
- availability of compute for your specific query
- and definitely some more details I haven't thought of
