Recruiting tech has spent the last several years optimizing the bottom of the funnel — automating scheduling, interviews screening, note-taking — all in the name of speed and efficiency. But speed applied to the wrong candidates just gets you to the wrong outcome faster. This session asks the question the industry hasn't fully reckoned with: if automation isn't improving who enters the funnel, is it actually improving hiring at all? We'll explore the gap between efficiency metrics and real outcomes — no-shows, offer declines, early attrition — and make the case that candidate intent, employer brand connection, and genuine expression of interest at the top of the funnel are leading indicators of quality of hire and retention.
