AI is becoming a bigger part of the hiring process, and many organizations are moving quickly to adopt new tools in the name of speed, consistency, and scale.

But as AI becomes more visible in the candidate journey, it also raises important questions about perception, trust, and the overall experience candidates have with your organization.

In this session, we’ll explore how to strike the right balance between innovation and human connection, and what it takes to use AI in a way that supports a strong, thoughtful candidate experience.

We’ll cover:

• Where AI can enhance the candidate experience — and where it can create friction
• How candidates may perceive AI-driven interactions throughout the hiring process
• The risks of over-automation and what can make a process feel impersonal
• What it looks like to build a recruiting experience that is both efficient and human-centered
• Practical considerations for teams trying to balance technology, trust, and candidate engagement
• This will be a practical discussion grounded in the realities recruiting teams are facing today, with a focus on helping organizations think more intentionally about how AI shows up in the hiring process.

Attendees will leave with a clearer perspective on both the opportunities and tradeoffs of AI in recruiting, along with ideas for creating a candidate experience that feels modern, effective, and human.
