Session Abstract:
In today’s fast-paced labor market, the traditional post-and-pray recruitment model is no longer enough. Hiring teams are caught between two extremes: overwhelmed by a flood of unqualified applications or struggling to find the right talent for hard-to-fill, specialist roles in a competitive landscape.
Join us for an in-depth look at the new Indeed— an integrated hiring engine that works for you. This session focuses on two of our latest innovations: Sourcing Assistant and Smart Screening.
What you will learn:
- Introducing Sourcing Assistant: Manual outreach shouldn’t consume your calendar. Sourcing Assistant operates as a seamless extension of your team, automating initial searches and engaging high-quality candidates that meet your defined criteria.
- Precision with Smart Screening: Say goodbye to sifting through piles of applications. We will demonstrate how Smart Screening automates the early screening process, scores candidates based on your objective criteria, and delivers rich context to help you make confident evaluations.
- Efficiency Redefined: See how these tools work in tandem and within your workflow to significantly reduce your Time-to-Hire and Cost-per-Hire.
Whether you are looking to scale your team quickly or find that needle-in-the-haystack specialist, this session will provide the roadmap for using the new Indeed to build your future workforce with confidence and ease.

Trust is the foundation. It determines whether candidates apply, whether new hires stay, and whether employees choose to grow with you—or quietly stay put.
In today’s labor market, marked by normalized ghosting, spam applications, rapid AI evolution, economic uncertainty, and the rise of “job hugging,” trust has become the primary currency of hiring. That currency is earned through the moments that define the talent journey. From the moment a candidate becomes aware of your brand to the day they exit, every interaction either builds credibility or erodes it.
In this session, Kyle M.K., Senior Talent Strategy Advisor at Indeed, will examine how trust is built across the talent lifecycle. Together with cross-industry panelists, he will share practical examples of how leading organizations embed transparency, fairness, and AI accountability into their hiring, leadership behaviors, and employee practices.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify the highest-impact trust moments across the talent lifecycle and assess where your organization may be unintentionally eroding credibility.
- Examine how AI adoption in hiring and workforce management impacts trust, including transparency, governance, and fears of displacement within HR and talent teams.
- Develop practical strategies to embed trust into recruiting, onboarding, leadership behaviors, and AI implementation
