Many talent leaders have already started implementing AI in pockets across their processes, but the most competitive of them are not stopping there: they want to unlock all the possibilities offered by AI at scale. By fundamentally changing how their organizations operate from the ground up, they are pushing the whole talent acquisition space towards a data-heavy, AI-assisted operating model.

In this panel discussion with four industry experts and enterprise talent leaders, we bridge the gap between technology and vision. How do talent leaders today approach the question of AI in transformation? How do they create a vision that can bring along the rest of the business in order to effect the kind of change that will help them attract and engage the best talent?

In this webinar, we will cover:

• How TA and HR leaders are shaping their talent agenda for 2025.
• How AI as a technology fits into a broader vision for talent transformation
• The ethical and reputation-related considerations surrounding talent strategies given the increasing prevalence of AI
• How to make sure to not miss on results like pipeline acceleration, higher quality of hire, extended reach in the next three years

If you can't make the live webinar, register anyway and we'll send you the slides and recording.
