From Data to Decisions: How AI and Technology are Powering Fortitude Re’s Talent Acquisition Strategy

22 Oct 2026
Breakout Session
Fortitude Re has revolutionized its Talent Acquisition model by strategically adopting AI-powered technologies, transforming how they source, evaluate, and hire talent. This HR Icon award-winning case study showcases how a midsize global reinsurer built an ethical, data-driven hiring engine that’s as human as it is high-tech. Leveraging platforms such as SeekOut, LinkedIn Recruiter, Puck, Greenhouse, and BrightHire, Fortitude Re embedded AI across every stage of the recruitment journey: from intelligent candidate sourcing and targeted outreach to automated screening, inclusive job descriptions, and data-backed interview feedback. 

The result? A 50% reduction in time-to-fill, a 43% decrease in new-hire attrition, and $2M in agency savings, while improving transparency and experience for every candidate and hiring manager. This interactive session delivers a candid, practical roadmap for leveraging AI responsibly to enhance both efficiency and equity.
