AI is only a part of the solution, not the whole - with Ben Sesser, Co-founder & CEO of BrightHire

As AI hiring tools have become increasingly more common and accessible, what does that mean for the future of work? Where does AI fit in a people-first recruiting approach? In this conversation, Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank are joined by Ben Sesser, Co-founder and CEO of BrightHire, to discuss the process of hiring with assistance of AI and technology.

BrightHire is an AI copilot for hiring used by hundreds of companies. Their platform transforms the quality of interviews with AI that builds exceptional hiring plans, guides interviewers, automates interview notes, enhances decision quality, and delivers new talent insights. With BrightHire’s unqiue data collected from 1m+ interviews, they’ve identified their clients have seen recruiters save 3-5 hours per week, and across a study of 25,000 candidates, they saw a 27% reduction in the # of interviews per hire and a 19% reduction in candidate drop-off. 

Ben Sesser, Co-founder & CEO, is joining today’s meetup to share his thoughts on 

1) How AI will change everything about knowledge work. 

2) One of the most important reasons to still learn foundation knowledge even in the age of AI will be to fact and error check outputs.

3) But it will be increasingly hard to get students and young professional to learn the foundational knowledge because there will be less of a forcing function to do so.
