Workshop 2

Monday, Nov. 18, 2-4 PM

Supercharge Your Staffing Firm with AI: Unlock Efficiency and Growth

Presenter: Lauren B. Jones

In today's fast-evolving landscape, technology offers staffing firms the chance to harness the power of automation, bots, and AI to drive efficiency and scale. Yet, many firms are held back by concerns around privacy, consistency, and the complexities of change management. These challenges often result in missed opportunities for innovation and growth.

Join us for this interactive workshop where we’ll demystify generative AI and explore its tangible benefits—like automating repetitive tasks and accelerating the talent discovery process with greater precision. Importantly, we’ll focus on how AI enhances human interaction rather than replacing it, allowing your recruiters and sales teams to shift their focus to relationship-building and high-value activities.

By the end of this workshop, you'll not only understand the practical applications of generative AI in your staffing firm but also gain hands-on experience in prompt engineering. Bring your laptops so we can prompt engineer together!

Must be registered to attend the 2024 Executive Summit to participate in the workshop. No additional to participate in the AI workshop.
