What we know before the BIG BANG Festival – and what we want to clarify
The world of recruiting never stands still – and certainly not when it comes to the use of AI. Tools for automated candidate searches, matching algorithms, interview analysis via video AI or chatbots in applicant dialog: The list of new possibilities is getting longer and more complex. But with all this progress, the same question arises again and again: which of these are really helpful in everyday life?
We will be taking this question with us to the BIG BANG AI Festival in Berlin in September (https://bigbangfestival.de)
Between curiosity and sensory overload
As an executive researcher, I experience the challenges in recruiting on a daily basis: A shortage of skilled workers, confusing markets, rising expectations from applicants – and enormous time pressure on the company side.
At the same time, we are experiencing AI hype that promises a lot: more efficiency, better decisions, scalable processes. But how much of this really works in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals or medical technology? And where are the pitfalls – for example in terms of bias, data protection or acceptance within the team?
These are the questions we will be asking at the festival
The BIG BANG KI Festival will bring over 6,000 participants, 250 speakers and tech innovations to Berlin on September 10 and 11 – an ideal setting to engage in an exchange with a clear view and critical thinking.
Our key questions:
– Which AI tools deliver real added value in recruiting?
– How can new solutions be tested in a meaningful way – without turning everything upside down?
– What are good criteria for evaluating tools (e.g. integration, fairness, user-friendliness)?
– What are the new requirements for recruiters themselves?
We don’t just want to consume trends – we want to classify, examine and test them.
Fancy an exchange?
We’ll be in Berlin in September – and open for discussions. If you want to network or reflect together, please get in touch. Until then, we’ll remain critical, ready to learn – and curious about what’s to come.
