Loved by HR Pros Everywhere

Ai in the talent space isn’t just coming….it’s here! With augmented ai, recruiters can work on the things they do best, creating wonderful experiences for candidates and not get bogged down with repetitive tedious task driven work. After spending the week at IAMPHENOM in Philadelphia, I have a renewed energy and drive to bring even more WOW experiences to our candidates, recruiters and hiring leaders. Thank you Phenom for a great week of learning with, listening to and engaging your clients.

Another phenomenal year at #IAMPHENOM in Philadelphia, and I once again left with a sense of excitement around what is coming for the future of HR and talent acquisition. It was great to share the experience with some amazing McCain Foods colleagues and also get to meet some incredible people from all around the world. Phenom puts on quite the show and I’m already looking forward to next year!

What a week! Our team flew out to Philadelphia for the IAMPHENOM Conference, and we had the chance to present on how we are utilizing Phenom to improve the candidate and recruiter experience at United. We connected with other professionals to learn about their experience as well, and to top it all off, we got to celebrate with an 80s cover band party at the Reading Terminal Market!

So much amazing content at #IAmPhenom. Big takeaway: AI in TA isn’t coming…it’s here. AI isn’t going to replace you, however, if you fail to learn how to harness its power, someone who can will absolutely take your job.
