Leveraging AI for Smarter Recruiting: Key Insights from Industry Leaders // Future Work # 102

How are companies actually using AI in their Talent Acquisition functions? This question led us to organize the FlexOS x Juicebox (YC S22) “AI in Recruiting” roundtable, which I hosted two weeks ago.

There are low-hanging fruits, as josé benitez cong , Chief People Officer at Humane, said during the session, “AI alone won’t solve all your recruiting challenges, but it can free up time and let recruiters focus on what truly matters.”

There were also discussions about how we should not even think about current processes but look far into the future, where TA may not even exist in the way it does today.

These insights from Jose, AJ Thomas ?? , and JESS VON BANK set the tone for a lively discussion among over 30 talent acquisition leaders from companies like Amazon, ADP, and Nvidia, exploring how AI transforms recruiting workflows, enhances decision-making, and creates more strategic hiring processes.

In this article, I’ll share some of my favorite insights that every Human Resources leader should take away from this discussion to leverage AI for better talent outcomes.

With deep thanks to David Paffenholz for sponsoring the event and Truc Nguyen for producing.
