StageOne VC - AI for HR: What’s Actually Working, What’s Just Hype, and What You Can Start Doing Tomorrow
AI. AI. AI. AI.
It’s in every headline, every board meeting and every LinkedIn post. This morning is different, because it’s about you: the HR team, on a regular workday.
Join Shiri Vax, CEO & Founder of Gotfriends, for a practical, example-driven session:
AI in the HR workday: sourcing, CV screening, candidate communication, interview prep and recruitment workflows, including real examples of how Gotfriends uses Claude.
Hiring in the AI era: how to evaluate candidates when everyone uses AI, which skills matter more than ever, and how to spot AI-assisted misrepresentation in interviews.
What’s working vs. what’s hype: where AI creates real value, where it still falls short, and why human judgment remains critical.
The AI vs. headcount dilemma: how AI is changing roles, team structures and hiring decisions, and how HR can navigate the conversation with leadership.
Practical takeaways: where a small HR team should start, which processes to prioritize, and how to bring in AI without losing the human touch.
Drawing on Gotfriends’ work with 1,000+ companies in Israeli tech, Shiri will share insights, examples and lessons from the field.
Then Guy Barel, Founder and CEO of Canditech, a StageOne portfolio company, joins for a short session on which skills companies are assessing today, how they’re doing it, and what’s actually working at growing global tech companies.
Why this breakfast?
You picked the topic. AI for HR came out on top when we asked the forum.
Peers, not panels. One table, HR leaders from StageOne portfolio companies, and an open conversation.
Once a year. Since we last met, we’ve closed Fund V and welcomed five new portfolio companies, so expect new faces too.
