“Our business is shifting quickly— we used to get to the first quarter in our 12-month plan and everything was already out of date. Last year, we ran our workforce planning cycles twice. This year, we’re shifting to quarterly loops to make sure the plan for hiring is in lockstep with the business.”
— Jason Gingrich, Talent Acquisition Lead @ Intrinsic
“AI is not a new concept in talent acquisition. But now, the honeymoon’s over. To implement AI effectively long-term, organizations need a good base of scalable, standardized processes and data protocols. AI is only as smart as the instructions we give it.”
— Manjuri Sinha, VP HR/ Global Head of GTM Org Success & People Partners @ Miro
“What we’re looking at now is how we can uplevel each individual on our team beyond recruiting in a way that benefits both our business and their careers. This includes the areas that funnel into talent: operations and technology, internal mobility, and reporting.
