The demands being placed on talent acquisition teams have never been tougher. Recruiters are managing unprecedented workloads, handling 93% more applications than in 2021. They’re doing so with fewer resources, with teams 14% smaller than five years ago. Hiring processes are longer and more resource-intensive than ever before. And applicant fraud is on the rise, with Gartner predicting that by 2028 one-in-four applicants globally will be fake.

Cutting through all that noise is hard – which is why integrating AI into your hiring process is critical. So how do TA teams do more with less, and harness an AI-first approach to recruiting that enables them to enhance efficiencies, reduce fraud, and better identify top talent? Where do the opportunities lie – and how do you navigate the potential pitfalls?

Join Gem and a handpicked group of your peers to find out, and explore how AI is transforming the talent acquisition space.
