Elevating Talent Acquisition with AI

Our organizations are nothing without our people. And, our people expect better; better experiences, better opportunities, and better companies to align with. All of that starts with Talent Acquisition. Over the last decade, the needs, skills, and expectations of candidates have pushed Talent Acquisition—and, in turn, our organizations—to new heights. Today, as AI supercharges the workforce, the employees we need and the technologies at our fingertips are pushing TA to evolve with more speed and finesse than ever before. How can we keep up?

Course Overview

In Elevating Talent Acquisition with AI, we'll explore emerging trends in TA and help practitioners get a handle on the evolving landscape. We’ll dissect AI’s massive impact on recruiting, redefine top-notch candidate experiences, showcase the impact of a well-crafted employer brand, and reimagine what it means to work in talent—whether in recruiting or leadership.

Armed with the latest strategies, research, and frameworks, we’ll uncover what it takes to build a strong, future-ready approach to hiring and retaining talent. We’ll discuss how technology can streamline hiring processes, leverage data to make smarter hiring decisions, and drive entire organizations forward—all while maintaining human connection at the center.

Questions You'll Explore:

  • What are the latest trends shaping talent acquisition?

  • How can AI enhance the experience of candidates, recruiters, and employees?

  • How can recruiters position themselves as strategic advisors, and why does it matter?

  • Why is retention just as important as attraction, and how can we build long-term talent loyalty?

  • How can recruiters and other TA professionals become Superworkers and lead our organizations to the front of the pack?

Each Field Manual will take you between 30-45 minutes to complete but you can jump on and off at your own pace, as often as you’d like. The deeper learning happens in the discussions with your fellow learners so be sure to check in on the conversations regularly.
