AI & Hiring: What's Really Working
What role should AI play in hiring exceptional talent, and where is it hype or hindrance?
Applications per hire have tripled since 2021, while talent teams have shrunk. So more of the hiring process is moving into software and agents: sourcing, screening, scheduling, sequencing. Some of it works brilliantly; some means more volume, less signal, and great people the process filters out.
We're getting the best talent leaders together to work out what's actually helping them hire better, not just faster.
Our panelists:
- Krishan Bhatt, Talent @ Decagon
- Leah Sutton, Chief Portfolio Talent Officer @ Balderton Capital
- Dave Richardson, Consultant + Advisor @ Tandem (ex-Monzo Talent Leader)
On the table:
What's actually in their stack now, and what got cut
Whether any of it helps you land the top 5%, or just processes the other 95% faster
The parts of hiring they'd never hand over to AI
Then the mixer: great food, drinks, and a room full of people figuring out the same problem.
Who it's for:
Heads of Talent, TA leads, People leaders and founders running hiring. Invite only.
