Join Extension partner, the National Human Resources Association, as they explore how to build a talent acquisition function grounded in capacity, capability, and technology, with a focus on how AI can serve as a complement to the recruiter’s role rather than a replacement. The session will also cover how to build and equip a talent acquisition team with a strong Employer Value Proposition (EVP) that engages candidates across three key dimensions—resulting in higher offer acceptance rates and reduced attrition. These insights will be illustrated through a real-world success story from work done at Rockwell Automation.
