IDEAL STRUCTURE OF AI-ENABLED TA You might have noticed a run of AI Agent demo's on Brainfood Live recently - product makers are increasingly confident that they are going to produce intelligent software which will increasingly behave more like a colleague than a tool. What does this mean for the humans in the recruitment function? Transformation is closer than we think and we need to get busy thinking about a future where AI indeed transforms our function, how that function needs to be structured for maximum efficacy and perhaps most importantly, how we ensure the efficiency gains provided by AI, convert to experience gains secured for humans. We will discuss: - State of AI in TA today - Current structure of TA teams - what are the options? - Will AI simplify TA structure - Y/N? - What functions will human TA retain, which will be automated? - How do humans 'stay in the loop'? - SHOULD humans stay in the loop? - What do we know about candidate experience and how will AI improve this? - Bias: how do we ensure AI does not exacerbate bias in hiring? - Where will recruiters be spending time in 2026? - How will the role of hiring managers change with the increase use of AI? - What does the optimal structure of TA look like going forward? - How do TA leaders start the journey toward getting there today? All this and more, with some of the smartest people in the industry talking us through it.
