Ditch the Script: Meet the AI Agent That Humanizes Hiring

September 18, 2025
HR Tech Talks Theater - Expo Hall
Tech Talk Session
92% of candidates abandon the application process. Is it because most “agents” on career sites still sound like old-school bots? We think so. 

It’s time to flip the script and solve the problem. 

A new wave of AI is transforming how candidates experience career sites, moving from rote and scripted to dynamic and engaging. Today’s job seekers expect conversations that reflect their goals, anticipate their needs, and guide them through a personalized hiring journey.

In this session, we’ll explore how intelligent, human-centric AI is redefining the talent experience from the very first interaction.

We’ll examine:
-    How next-gen AI can guide candidates seamlessly from search to submission within a single, intuitive conversation.
-    The power of validated industrial-organizational (IO) science in driving predictive job matching without relying on keyword roulette.
-    New strategies for re-engaging “runner-up” candidates to keep your talent funnel moving.
-    Why experiences that feel natural and human consistently outperform legacy bots in engagement.

If you’re ready to eliminate dead ends in your hiring experience, this is your next move.
