78% of TA teams are now experimenting with AI tools, but only a fraction are seeing consistent, high-quality results. The gap isn’t access to AI, it’s knowing how to use it effectively in real hiring workflows.
This hands-on session cuts through the noise, showing exactly how tools like Claude and Copilot can be applied in day-to-day talent acquisition. Through live demonstrations and practical examples, you’ll see how to streamline outreach, improve interview quality, and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks without sacrificing candidate experience or hiring standards.
What to expect
- Live demonstrations of using AI to create high-converting outreach messages
- How to generate tailored, high-quality interview questions in seconds
- Practical ways to streamline repetitive TA workflows using AI tools
- Tips for prompting effectively to get consistent, reliable outputs
- Where AI genuinely adds value, and where it doesn’t in hiring processes
