Artificial intelligence was the star of the show in 2023, and it’s unlikely to give up center stage in the coming year. Individuals on talent teams are just starting to experiment with AI, whether to prompt ChatGPT for outreach templates, to help write job descriptions, or to even draft goals and reviews.
Some are excited about AI’s potential, while others ponder how to responsibly integrate it into the talent tech stack. However you feel about the next wave of innovation, it’s clear there hasn’t been disruption like this since the advent of the Internet.
Behind the excitement, there’s also deep concern about AI; if it’s so powerful, will it lead to layoffs and job losses? We believe roles and responsibilities on talent teams will only evolve and grow with these changes, and that those who adapt will become even more valuable at their companies.
At Findem, we’re not just thinking about the transformative possibilities of AI, but about the data making these advancement possible. Every day, talent teams rely on data to decide who to promote, who to hire, how to uplevel employee skill-sets, how to build diverse teams, and so much more.
As we reflect on 2023 and ahead to 2024, we’re proud to have stayed true to this promise — to give talent teams the 3D data and AI insights they need to not only make the right decisions about people, but to prepare them for the future.
Join us as we look back on all that’s happened in the past 12 months and our hopes for the year ahead!
Take a look back at the The State of Hiring and Recruiting in 2023
We started the year by surveying 300 HR leaders to find out how they track success and where they see room for improvement. Many found themselves in the same boat, with trouble looming on the horizon — pressure to meet impossible goals, high burnout, and a split on the role of AI in addressing bias.
While the talent landscape has changed significantly since January, our findings can still help you hire top talent, meet your goals, and avoid burnout.
We asked a handful of experts and guests to join us and respond to the data. You can see their answers and watch the webinar replays here:

See how Findem took generative AI to a new level in recruiting
Since Findem launched in 2019, our unique approach to data has helped companies find talent no one else can find, speed hiring, and meet or exceed their DEI goals. Building on that data foundation, we embedded AI assistants throughout the Talent Data Cloud, making it possible to ask Findem anything in searches, candidate profiles, dashboards, and campaigns.
For example, you can click on a candidate’s enriched profile to explore their experience and company highlights. Find a match? Just ask Findem for help: “Can you summarize this for a hiring manager who values team players?”
