Oceanside D Ballroom
Breakout Session
Recruiting teams today face a perfect storm: rapid advances in AI, economic pressure, and increasing instances of fraud and candidate misrepresentation. These challenges are straining budgets, overloading pipelines, and limiting recruiters’ ability to focus on what matters most: finding and engaging top talent.

In this session, talent technology leader Nkem Nwankwo will explore how AI is reshaping hiring. Through real-world examples and practical insights, you’ll learn how to use AI strategically to streamline sourcing, reduce inefficiencies, and strengthen candidate relationships—without losing the human touch.

Key topics include:
- Smarter Sourcing: Use AI to surface high-potential candidates, reduce time spent on resume screening, and mitigate challenges like fraud or misrepresentation.
-  Efficiency Through Integration: Explore how automation and connected tools can reduce reliance on fragmented systems and help teams stay agile amid budget constraints.
- Avoiding the “AI Doom Loop”: Learn how to interpret candidate signals effectively and avoid over-automation.
- Ethical AI Use: Build trust through transparency and preserve meaningful, human-centered candidate interactions.

Leave energized with practical strategies and a clear roadmap for effectively leveraging AI—helping your team hire better, faster, and more cost-effectively.
