Automation, AI and Machine Learning are disrupting Talent Acquisition and HR functions around the globe and incorporating the right level of automation into your recruitment processes can deliver significant benefits and sizable cost savings. These current, yet evolving technologies, are impacting the world of talent professionals today and there is more to come. In this session we discuss how today’s global talent acquisition and HR teams are using automation to add efficiency while simultaneously improving the candidate experience and maintaining a human touch. We’ll explore how recruiters and HR teams are using chatbots, scheduling software and assessment tools in order to “up the talent game” and we’ll discuss the potential landmines inherent in the use of algorithms and “big data” in this brave new world.
