Technology’s Impact on Talent Acquisition — A Conversation with Kristen Bailey of Paradox

The bluEPrint by Executive Platforms

At the most recent edition of the North American HR Executive Summit we sat down with Kristen Bailey, Paradox’s VP, Talent Acquisition, to talk about how technology is challenging and changing some of the tried, tested, and true approaches to Talent Acquisition. TA has always been an area of special expertise among HR professionals, and many organizations attribute their success at becoming employers or choice to how they attract and recruit their people in the first place. With that said, traditional methods can be time intensive, repetitive, and vulnerable to conscious and unconscious biases. All of that can be addressed and improved upon using the latest generation of HR tools and technologies. In this discussion we explore what HR leaders need to know about the evolving nature of recruiting. Give it a listen!
