AI in Recruiting: Practical use cases to be more efficient

It’s no secret that today’s recruiting environment is slowing down, leaving talent acquisition teams struggling to find ways to do more with less.

During these slower periods, recruiting efficiency and agility are everything. Whether it’s finding ways to automate tasks or incorporating AI into your workflows, talent teams are finding new, effective ways to work more efficiently and get more done, despite fewer resources.

In this panel, talent leaders from Abnormal Security, Scale AI, and Cerevel share their secrets to doing more with fewer recruiting resources.

Tune in to learn:

- How to build your recruiting process to ensure efficiency
- Tips and tactics for automating day-to-day recruiting and driving efficiencies.
- How to use data to build a more efficient hiring process

Do more with less: efficiency hacks for TA teams

The talent pool for digital and technical candidates has widened and deepened. Much of this expansion is a direct result of layoffs in the tech sector, creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for non-tech companies to gain access to talent that would have been inaccessible a year ago. 

Let’s face it: every company is a tech company now. With more tech talent available than ever before, companies need to carefully evaluate their strategies and positions within the market. The availability of tech talent isn’t enough–since competing companies now need to attract these highly skilled professionals to their organizations.

Join us to learn how to take advantage of today’s environment and get ahead of the competition in accelerating digital transformation initiatives. (Hint: Attracting this available, highly-sought talent involves more than conversations around compensation.)

Key discussion points of this webinar will include: 
- Dialing in employer branding and employer value propositions that tech workers actually care about
- Elevating sourcing efforts to identify and target prized digital skills for urgent roles
- Unlocking pipeline data to pinpoint and resolve bottlenecks and close top candidates before they slip away

Upside of tech layoffs: How non-tech companies are bridging their skills gaps

In today's fast-paced environment, attracting and retaining top talent is crucial to hitting goals in all areas of the business. But recruiting teams must be data-driven in order to operate efficiently and consistently hit hiring goals.  

In this panel discussion. TA leaders from Flexport, Chime, and Fidelity discuss how to leverage data-driven strategies to transform your recruitment process, reduce cost-per-hire and prove TA’s impact.

You'll learn:

- How to define and prioritize recruiting metrics that align with your business goals
- Strategies for leveraging data to build and maintain your talent pipelines
- Tips for building a data-driven employer brand that resonates with top and diverse candidates 
- Best practices for measuring the success of your data-driven recruiting efforts

Transforming recruitment with data-driven hiring strategies

People connect with real stories. Think about a time where someone’s story has inspired you to try a new recipe, new place, or even a new company. Employees embody a company’s culture and values, they build and influence the product and are an employer’s biggest brand advocates when empowered to share their authentic voice and stories.

Key discussion topics include:
Showcasing employee stories to engage diverse talent
Fostering authentic relationships with ERGs
Sharing industry examples on winning stories

All-time recruiting woe? Most will say reviewing resumes in bulk. It’s not uncommon for TA teams to spend countless hours reviewing hundreds of applications only to find few qualified candidates as their trade-off.

This pulls recruiters away from building relationships with candidates already in the process, only adding to costly delays and missed opportunities. It’s time for teams to take charge and no longer be bound by manual workflows or limited optimization.
