SourceCon - Spring 2017

Two hundred years ago, people began to harness energy in ways that we could never imagine before. That power drove the industrial revolution and transformed history. Today, we are experiencing yet another age of transformation. This age is not about steam power, coal and electricity. It’s about harnessing information. Cars can drive themselves. Virtual reality is here. We can literally print an entire house. This is the New Machine Age, and through the advances it brings in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, it is changing the way we work.

In this session, analytics and HR systems expert Jason Roberts of Randstad Sourceright explores the emergence of the New Machine Age and its impact on recruiting. What do AI and robotics offer the future of recruiting? With the technology that is making its way to us, what portions of the recruiting process make sense to automate? Can a robot write a job description, a Boolean search or even interact with candidates and sourcers in the near future? Where should recruiting organizations focus their efforts to add value when “Skynet” arrives? The new Machine Age has arrived. Are you ready?
