    Last night, over 40 women in TA leadership from San Diego gathered for an amazing dinner. The amount of talent in the room was astounding! We sought to moderate a discussion on what "Creating a gold standard hiring practice might look like in 2024", but never got to it because the energy, conversations, and connection in the room were on fire 🔥. I guess that's what community is about after all 👭 Thank you to our amazing partners, Searchlight, CoderPad, and Largely for helping us make this event possible! #TALeadership #SanDiego #WomenInLeadership

    ❗We have big news! We're very happy to announce the launch of Searchlight Applicant Screening, the latest addition to Searchlight's family of AI-powered recruiting tools. It does exactly what it sounds like: recruiters can now leverage AI to sift through and screen resumes more efficiently. Recruiters spend up to 40% of their time manually screening resumes, even thought up to 75% of all applicants are unqualified. How's 40% of a recruiter's time back sound? Searchlight Applicant Screening uses AI to objectively rank candidates based on a set of input criteria, like years of experience, location, hard skills listed in the candidates’ resumes, and soft skills. From there, the AI recommends a top set of candidates and tells you why it picked them out of all your applicants, taking the manual labor out of screening. ✨ And how it's impacting customers is truly outrageous: - Average of 21 hours saved per search ⏳ - Up to 40% faster time-to-fill ⏱️ - Better hiring outcomes, predicting the right hire with 80% accuracy ✅ - Reduced cost per hire by up to 20% 💸 👉 Read the blog to find out more: https://lnkd.in/gwjuqXGM #recruiting #ai #hirewithconfidence #resumes

    Love our friend Amanda Halle's 1️⃣ prediction for 2024: AI Reaches the Slope of Enlightenment. ✔ AI is a tactic to drive profitability, decrease costs, AND enhance human potential: The future leader, the next-generation CEO will focus on building profitability through smart use of AI versus looking at layoffs, outsourcing, offshoring, and other means of quick shareholder profitability. Do you agree? #AI #Talent #2024

    My 10 Predictions/Aspirations for 2024 🔮 THEME 1️⃣: AI Reaches the Slope of Enlightenment ✔ AI infiltrates day-to-day: Microsoft is adding a key to their keyboard for their AI co-pilot –  the first time that they’ve made a keyboard change in nearly 30 years. From Google’s Gmail Smart Compose to Notion AI to Canva AI, the tools and platforms that we use daily are the places where our AI immersion will begin. ✔ AI reduces the admin: Perhaps this doesn’t sound like a provocative prediction. But this is a monumental shift that companies, teams, and individuals will have to make. Monumental in its impact on WHAT the work is and HOW the work gets done. ✔ AI’s impact is measured: The Big Three started to do this last year and shared promising results. Companies will better and more transparently measure and analyze their productivity with AI in 2024. ✔ AI is a tactic to drive profitability, decrease costs, AND enhance human potential: The future leader, the next-generation CEO will focus on building profitability through smart use of AI versus looking at layoffs, outsourcing, offshoring, and other means of quick shareholder profitability. THEME 2️⃣: People Leaders Become General Managers ✔ People leaders think like GMs: People leaders will develop and grow their capacity to speak the language of the business – moving away from employee engagement alone to profitability and cost and just HOW these impact and are impacted by employee engagement. ✔ Cross-functional experience wins: People will rise into roles from different areas of the business. Importance and emphasis will be placed on having multidisciplinary and cross-functional people leaders and business experience.  ✔ Partnerships drive performance: People leaders will develop even deeper and stronger relationships across and outside their organizations. This means, beyond their CEOs, People Leaders, will leverage Fractional People executives and people communities for learning and experience. THEME 3️⃣: Talent Development Happens in the Moment ✔ Coaching moves to real-time: Coaching needs happen at the moment and the support structures will shift in this direction. Leveraging new coaching models and AI tools, this approach can align with the dynamic needs of a fast-paced workplace, fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptability. ✔ Managers get more clarity: Clear is kind. Managers aren’t going to succeed by being left to their own devices. It’s time that they are equipped with crystal clear expectations – roles, responsibilities, access to support, and balance of work, to name a few. ✔ Org design shapes learning design: The way companies are structured — hierarchical, flat, or networked — significantly influences how learning is facilitated and experienced. As the future of work reshapes the future of organizational design, L&D efforts must also shift. What are you seeing? How do you see our roles as people leaders shifting?
