Core Session
While the market rushes toward AI and automation in talent acquisition, Unilever has taken a more deliberate path — one built on simplification, strategic alignment, and experience-led transformation. This session explores how the company is thoughtfully navigating its AI and automation journey to build a future-ready talent acquisition strategy. 

Attendees will learn how Unilever is aligning platforms and processes to reduce complexity, applying predictive intelligence to enhance sourcing and hiring decisions, and balancing innovation with trust to ensure responsible AI integration. Through early use cases and key lessons learned, the session will demonstrate how AI is approached is just as important as what is deployed — and how thoughtful adoption drives efficiency, improves candidate experience, and creates a scalable foundation for the future.
