Keynote - Nathan Mondragon

You’ve heard a lot about AI, and depending on which article you read, it will either be the savior or the downfall of talent acquisition (if not the whole human race).

In this session, Dr. Nathan Mondragon will explore how the truth about the future is not only much less dire, but actually hopeful, and how artificial intelligence can be used ethically in the screening and hiring stages of talent acquisition. Proper AI needs to be measured and proven to show what it is designed to predict. Nathan will discuss a methodology for how AI tools can assist highly-skilled recruiting professionals with objective, less-biased data. He’ll also dive into the “people science” behind these tools, designing and testing to remove bias from the algorithms, and why you and your team can trust that algorithms can help you meet your lofty TA goals.
