Talent acquisition technology has come a long way from job boards and applicant tracking. Bots can now interact with candidates throughout the process. Applicants can preview their application status and the steps of the hiring process. But is this really making hiring more human or is it making it inherently less human? It's a challenging debate, especially with the advent of more AI-based technologies that can automate parts of the hiring process: screening, matching, scheduling and more. Join our expert panel as they discuss both sides: some believing technology is improving our ability to create more human interactions while others see it as a way to offload the very human nature of recruiting to an algorithm.
