What We Wish We Had: How AI is Changing Hiring for the Operator
Join us for a live, operator-led fireside chat exploring how hiring is changing and what today’s talent and HR leaders need to do about it.
Drawing on decades of combined experience scaling hiring functions across high-growth and enterprise organisations, Ed Grimes and Ed Godwin from Talent Unlimited are joined by Andrea Wareham, former Chief People Officer at Pret A Manger, where she scaled the people function across thousands of employees and a global store estate, and by technology and implementation specialist Gemma Fitzhugh. Hosted by Deloitte in collaboration with Zoho Recruit, the panel will explore:
How the hiring landscape has shifted and why traditional approaches are breaking down
Where AI is genuinely adding value in recruitment (and where it isn’t)
How organisations can adopt AI responsibly, including managing bias, transparency and emerging regulatory expectations including the EU AI Act
The risks and pitfalls of selecting the wrong tools or approach
What candidates actually expect from modern recruitment processes
How to balance speed, quality and candidate experience in a competitive market
The session will also explore what a modern, AI-enabled and responsibly governed hiring model looks like in practice.
Through a practical walk through, we’ll show how organisations are combining:
A robust Applicant Tracking System (Zoho Recruit)
With an AI-driven screening and engagement layer (Talent Unlimited)
to improve hiring outcomes from initial application through to candidate feedback and conversion.
This is a practical, experience-led conversation designed to help you:
Cut through the noise around AI in recruitment
Understand what “good” looks like in today’s hiring environment
Take away actionable insight you can apply immediately
