HR Interactive | How AI is being used by job seekers
Welcome to New Media Manitoba’s HR Interactive! Join us for an engaging and supportive session exploring how AI is transforming the world of job applicants and the HR landscape.
The use of AI by job seekers is raising the speed, volume, and polish of applications. As a result, organizations are rethinking how they recruit and hire, while expectations are shifting for many roles.
