AI technologies, such as big data, machine learning, large language models, and generative AI, are rapidly transforming the global business market. These rapid shifts exacerbate the existing skills gap in the marketplace, with companies challenged and struggling to source and recruit qualified talent. There are almost 10 million job openings in the U.S., but only 5.9 million unemployed workers, leaving 4 million jobs unfilled.

According to Gartner, 76% of HR leaders believe their organizations should adopt and implement AI solutions within the next 12 to 24 months, or they will fall behind in organizational success (profitability, market share, employee satisfaction, employee retention, innovation, etc.) compared to those that act.

ThisWay Global’s AI technology helps businesses automate their talent acquisition processes in an ethical way. Its powerful Diversity Sourcing & Matching Engine enables employers to connect with diverse applicants and candidates from over 8,500 diversity-based organizations. Each candidate is matched against open positions based on their skills and experience, reducing bias and increasing diversity across all industries.

IBM’s Lunch & Learn Series will dive into the HR domain, talent acquisition workflows, and how AI can empower employees by enhancing their skills. Advanced AI productivity tools can be used as a digital concierge, freeing employees’ time from repetitive tasks and mundane work, such as scheduling interviews, calendaring training sessions, processing paperwork, etc. Attendees will be introduced to how IBM’s watsonx Orchestrate can apply AI to optimize workflows across HR while driving productivity and employee satisfaction and will learn about the following:
