This forthcoming business event at Grant Thornton UK LLP in Reading will bring together professionals to examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping the recruitment sector.

Join us to explore the benefits, challenges, risks and ethical considerations of using AI in recruitment.
The recruitment landscape is evolving rapidly, with AI playing an increasingly influential role in how organisations find, engage, and hire talent. AI is helping recruitment teams to work smarter and deliver a more personalised candidate experience.
