Using AI to Enhance the Candidate Experience

Presented by: David Crawford, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at New York-Presbyterian Hospital

As anyone in Talent Acquisition knows, more candidates get turned down than get hired. For candidates highly sought after, organizations may go head-to-head against competitors in their attempt to attract and hire the best. Be it the nature of the recruiting funnel, the number of interview rounds, or ending up as a silver medalist, very talented people will miss out on an opportunity that they hoped to have, ultimately exiting feeling frustrated, demoralized, with many having a view that their candidacy was never brought to an official closure.

In this session, you will learn about:

• Automation and AI to improve the candidate experience for all
• Eliminating waste from the recruiting process to enhance the hiring experience for the candidate, the Hiring Manager, and the Talent Acquisition team
• Using technology in a smarter way to drive down average time-to-fill, without cutting corners, and yielding better outcomes overall
