Implementing an effective DEI strategy relies on a deep understanding of your organization's current position, the required steps for progress, and a reliable method for ongoing DEI metrics measurement. In this HRchat episode, we discuss why the numbers should determine leadership direction. In light of recent changes, we also consider if now is the time to double down on demonstrating the need for the DEI data.

What are some of the challenges and opportunities that come with a fresh leadership team? You believe that "a data-driven strategy is no longer optional... Anyone who is in the throes of year-end reporting knows what I'm talking about". What did you mean by that?In light of recent political decisions and the broader pullback on DEI efforts across industries, the urgency to back DEI initiatives with data has perhaps never been more critical.

At the very tail end of May 2023, the enterprise artificial intelligence software and services vendor Veritone announced the acquisition of Broadbean, a global recruitment technology company. Given that PandoLogic joined the family of Veritone companies in mid-summer 2021, we invited an expert each from PandoLogic and Broadbean to appear on the #HRTechChat video podcast and discuss synergies between the two now-Veritone companies. Joining us for this episode were Faisel Samseer, director of partnerships, development and growth for Broadbean, and Nikos Livadas, vice president of partner development for PandoLogic. Viewers (and listeners at the many audio podcast platforms where #HRTechChat syndicates) know we typically have in-depth discussions and communication with our guests in the "virtual greenroom" in the run-up to each episode. This episode is no different. Over a couple meetings and several detailed email exchanges, Nikos, Faisel and I discussed how the two vendors' shared circumstances under the aegis of Veritone ownership afford them the same kind of benefits normally found in any business partnership of this magnitude and scale. The joining of these two companies is natural in many ways. PandoLogic started out as an AI-based programmatic advertising solution for recruiting and quickly and significantly grew its capabilities from there, delighting customers along the way. As for Broadbean, "Today, we're the world's leader in job distribution technology," said Faisel. "We enable our clients to blast out their jobs to multiple platforms at the same time." He elaborated on Broadbean's large global footprint: "We say we're global. We have offices throughout the world," and Broadbean supports around 7,000 job board integrations. So, just how, exactly, do Broadbean and PandoLogic complement each other? "I think we all can agree that the bedrock of a successful AI platform is the amount of data that it has on the back end to fuel its algorithms and engines," said Nikos, pointing to the the "immense reach that Faisal was talking about earlier in data and combining it with the power of what PandoLogic has done in the AI space." This is true. No matter the type of AI, it always evolves better the more data it has access to. We see this in AI-based scheduling software and AI-predicated self-evolving skills ontologies. Outside human capital management -- and inherent in their very name -- "large" language models thrive most when as much data as possible (i.e., from human input) feeds them. It only stands to reason that this same fundamental rule of AI applies when it comes to AI and talent acquisition. As Nikos shared in a note to me ahead of the recording, "As our resellers and referral partners embrace the new Veritone HR Solutions set, they will be able to leverage our new expanded global footprint to expose our combined offering in more geo-locations than ever before possible. This will allow our partners to focus on their core competencies while relying on Broadbean/PandoLogic to handle the logistics and distribution aspects." Veritone's history in the AI space is long, "and they're a formidable player in AI when it comes to media advertising and voice technologies," said Nikos. Leveraging all that newfound data in a creative way will help the companies' customers find and engage with the best candidates for their open roles. "This is phenomenal for our partners as well," Nikos continued, "and we're looking forward to working with our partners under this new umbrella.

It has never been harder to find and engage candidates. So how can your employer brand stand out while keeping your budget in check? When it comes to your recruitment sourcing strategy and finding the right candidate, there are several factors to consider. Helping Bill Banham to get to the heart of how to mix AI with other approaches to candidate sourcing is Terry Baker, CEO & President at Pandologic, an AI-enabled recruiting platform.Questions For Terry Include: The Great Resignation is projected to be with us for a long time. What have employers learned from this experience so far that's helping them prepare for what's next?How do you see technology fitting into this narrative? What's the role AI will play in continuing to help drive outcomes?What are the risks with fully automated/AI-driven processes? Can great candidates be missed in a process where humans are removed from the early-stage screening process? Can checks be put in place? One of the biggest challenges facing recruiters today is the sheer number of online job boards that exist. Can you share some stats around job boards (#s of boards, collective reach, engagement rates, etc).Before one can even get to the candidate sourcing stage of the recruitment process, it's vital to tackle an important task: perfecting the job listing and requirements listed. What tips can you share?Specificity is good for candidate sourcing, but sometimes an overly specific list of requirements can be just as dissuading to a candidate as a job listing stuffed with vague terms. What's the correct middle ground approach?Knowing the value data provides, how can we measure success going forward?More About TerryTerry brings 20+ years of managing high-growth companies to his role at PandoLogic.

These deals make a lot of sense because each is working to drive traffic to jobs and the conversational AI helps to qualify and screen those candidates. Explain the problem you are trying to solve with this kind of acquisition? Explain what what and wendy does for a company (user experience) You ran some pilots with Wade&Wendy what were those results like? Challenges in hiring right now...What kind of application rates are you seeing on your clients jobs these days...its tough to hire right now? Will all your customer get this tech? Or will it be an Add on? Rename it? How will you be explaining what you are going forward? Are you now a “sourcing and screening” tech platform? Whats the future of programmatic and how do you see conversational AI evolving on next few years… Any new product announcements? More potential acquisitions? Making plans for hr tech this year?

StepStone, one of the world’s leading online job marketplaces, has acquired the San Francisco based, Mya, a conversational AI (artificial intelligence) technology. The company will embed Mya’s technology into its online job search. StepStone says they will fundamentally change the way it engages with job seekers, nurture candidates, and match them to right job opportunities. On top of just searching for jobs, StepStone will interact with its users conversationally through new channels to discover more about job seeker preferences, skills, and interests and increase the number and quality of matching job applications. The new technology will become part of StepStone’s Autonomous Matchingtm platform. Based on machine learning, conversational AI will enable job seekers to find matching job opportunities even without actively searching for them. The technology draws conclusions from talking to the candidate and then suggests suitable jobs via text message, WhatsApp or onsite chat. StepStone customers will benefit from improved matching and higher quality of hiring. Engaging with job seekers based on conversational AI will first be integrated in StepStone’s job marketplaces in English and German language. https://hrtechfeed.com/stepstone-acquires-mya-conversational-ai-software/ ZipRecruiter®, announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Talent Scout is currently available for clients located in the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and Israel. It will be available to additional countries soon. https://hrtechfeed.com/upwork-now-helps-you-find-pre-vetted-remote-freelancers/ Stoke Talent is launching customizable and automated Workflows for Onboarding and Offboarding non-payroll workers – such as freelancers, contractors, consultants and agencies – to make this process easier and risk-free for companies. Whenever a contractor is being onboarded to a company, they need to sign legal documents, provide payment information and tax documentation. The company should then run Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering (KYC/AML) checks before payments, document any system or data access provided to the contractor, and track hardware equipment provided, such as laptops and company badges. Today, most of these activities are done by email and tracked through spreadsheets, making this problematic and creating potential significant risks to the company. Stoke Talent’s automated Onboarding and Offboarding Workflows automates all of the above processes. It enables legal, finance, and IT teams to set up policies that are enforced throughout the entire company. https://hrtechfeed.com/new-stoke-adds-onboarding-tools-for-freelancers/ PandoLogic has acquired conversational chatbot Wade&Wendy to help their customers convert more applicants to the traffic they are buying.  From their announcement… Over the last two years, PandoLogic has been growing significantly in the Programmatic Job Advertising space. One common barrier to continued market adoption, however, is an assumption that Programmatic delivers large volumes of candidates but at low quality.  Coupling Wade & Wendy’s uniquely engaging and personal conversational AI technology with Programmatic will help increase conversion rates while reducing the strain on recruiters by doing the first level qualification screening.

Jennifer Ravalli was our guest for the latest episode of the 3Sixty Insights #HRTechChat podcast. Following long stints at ADP and, most recently, iCIMS, Jenn joined PandoLogic in September 2020 to head all marketing efforts. Jenn and I met and first spoke at the Spring 2021 HR Technology Conference & Exposition. It's when we delved specifically into PandoLogic's solution, a programmatic job advertising platform with underpinnings in artificial intelligence and available on the iCIMS marketplace. Naturally, this episode of #HRTechChat covers much ground in the areas of AI, the future of work, and more -- among our favorite topics at 3Sixty Insights. (Go here and here for our blogging on these ideas.) Jenn sees AI transforming the roles of recruiting (and sourcing, for that matter). Drawing on lessons learned from the analysis of massive data sets, AI will eventually become just plain better than even the most seasoned, savvy, innovative professionals at certain things in recruiting and sourcing. Some of that will the machine learning part of things -- the repetitive things recruiters would rather not do anyway. But AI will also be better at other things, such as being far more accurate than human intuition when it comes to knowing where the best candidates for an open requisition are likely to be and where they're likely to look. Who exactly these candidates are or should be is another thing AI will get better and better at determining, eventually better than any human ever could be. And AI will make organizations better at producing job descriptions that attract the most qualified, most diverse candidates for the job. In sum, soft skills, skills such as people skills, will grow ever more critical to recruiting professionals' success as their day-to-day work grows to encompass mostly this aspect of their roles. And that's just a small peek into my conversation with Jenn. I encourage you to give this episode a listen.

Job descriptions used to be so easy. Five lines in the local newspaper and done. Then the Internet came along and gave us unlimited white space, leading to a serious lack of quality ever since.

He came up through the sales side to become CEO at PandoLogic. PandoLogic has been doing programmatic for about 13 years. Programmatic is just an easier way to buy recruitment advertising. Most employers on job board sites buy through a one-to-many process. Programmatic can automate the process of job distribution. It gives you a single source for pushing job ads and eliminates the waste in advertising spend. 

Review sites are hot and valuable. Just ask Glassdoor, which sold for over a billion dollars last year. But do reviews translate to staffing agencies and recruiters?

Industry veteran Keith Ringer faces down the Firing Squad in this epic encounter, powered exclusively by PandoLogic.
