What to expect

This fireside chat brings together TA leaders inside  AI-native organizations to share the real, unpolished strategies behind building and leading AI-first recruiting teams. Expect a candid conversation about how AI is being operationalized on the ground: the tools that are actually moving the needle, the roles and workflows being reimagined, and the new competencies recruiters need to thrive. Together, we’ll explore what it really means to build an AI-first recruiting function—and how today’s choices will define tomorrow’s competitive advantage.
