If you’re a recruiter and feeling like your job is changing at breakneck speeds… friend, today’s episode is for you. With AI on the rise, it’s time to learn how to leverage these new tools in a smart way to help you handle your workload.
My special guest today is talent acquisition expert Krista Tan of the Talent Collective and she’s simplifying how to be a better recruiter in the age of AI. Let’s face it… recruiters get a bad rep these days. With a tighter and tighter job market, an insane influx of talented candidates and applications… and not to mention, the not-so-great recruiters who ghost candidates. The good news is, AI can help.
Here’s how.
My special guest today is Krista Tan and she’s simplifying how to be a better recruiter in the age of AI.
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
- How AI can help recruiters to save time, streamline tasks, and automate
- What specific and very practical tasks that you can delegate to AI to become more productive
- What you shouldn’t delegate to AI
- The biggest mistake that people make when adopting new AI tools
- …and ultimately, her predictions on where the talent acquisition industry is headed in the next 6-9 months and how to stay ahead of the curve.
Q: Are you ready to learn how to be a better recruiter in the age of AI? If yes, this one is for you.
It’s time to #DoTheThing!
