Key Takeaways

1. AI adoption must start now.

Many teams are overwhelmed by the hype, but the key is to begin with clear, practical use cases. You don’t need to overhaul everything at once, but take a first step grounded in your real workflow pain points.

2. The human touch still matters.

AI can streamline processes and boost productivity, but if not implemented thoughtfully, it can harm candidate experience and trust. Success lies in combining automation with empathy and transparency.

3. Education is the real unlock.

One reason AI adoption remains low in TA is a lack of understanding and confidence. Leaders need to empower teams with the knowledge, tools, and safe spaces to experiment. Without internal buy-in, no tech will stick.
