Joining Craig were Yazhad Dalal from Joveo, Erika Oliver and Will Crandle from Horsefly Analytics, who shared their insights and experiences.

The conversation kicked off with an exploration of the pivotal role AI and labor market analytics play in refining recruitment marketing strategies. By leveraging global labor market data, companies can optimize their recruitment budgets, target the most promising talent pools, and enhance their overall hiring processes.

The discussion further delved into the impact of AI in recruitment marketing, with Yazhad Dalal sharing compelling examples of how AI-driven tools like Joveo's platform enhance job content optimization and personalized job recommendations. This not only improves job visibility and candidate matching but also addresses challenges such as bias in job descriptions, promoting more inclusive hiring practices.

Craig Fisher shared a success story, demonstrating the power of integrating AI and market analytics to solve real-world recruitment challenges. By reevaluating campaign strategies based on labor market data, significant improvements in applicant numbers and cost savings were achieved, showcasing the tangible benefits of this synergy.

However, the conversation also acknowledged the challenges in incorporating AI into recruitment efforts, including concerns over privacy, bias, and the need for leadership buy-in. The speakers shared valuable advice on overcoming these hurdles, emphasizing the importance of ethical considerations and the continuous auditing of AI models.

In closing, the episode underscored the transformative potential of AI and labor market analytics in recruitment marketing. The speakers encouraged listeners to embrace these technologies, experiment with new tools, and share success stories to foster a community of learning and innovation in the field.

Excellent. Thanks for having me.

So, tell us a little bit about what's going on in your role currently, and what issues your team is seeing and how you're tackling? Yeah.

So we've been going through kind of a reinvention for lack of a better term here at Uber for the past few years, I've been here for two and a half now.

came over to build the sourcing space for tech, and then switched over to build the sourcing space for non tech. And one of the things that we're really seeing with all these interesting ups and downs and post great resignation, and all of this is that our candidate attraction strategy

has to be way more focused, while at the same town way more diverse than it's ever been in the past. So part of the things that I'm working on are

where does the talent that we won't really live in each of our verticals? And how are we going to attract them? And how are we going to sell the story of why Uber

Uber, as you know, is a global company with a lot of reach.

They're one of the companies that definitely came out of out of COVID.

You know, stronger, faster better than before.

So though our, our needs have shifted

their continuous. So it's been a really interesting model. I think when I came on board, they had literally just shuttered all the all of the offices and kind of screeched everything to a halt. And what they didn't realize was within 30 days, the Uber Eats side of the business will just explode. I think the first two months I was here, they added 34,000 restaurants to the platform.

And then since then, we've added about 18 different variations of what we can do with that model. So Uber, pharmacy and

grocery delivery and liquor delivery and all these other pieces. Uber freight has been huge for us.

But that keeps me on my toes as far as how that messaging gets out to reach that group of candidates that not only has the skill set that has the desire to come and work with a company that is in continuous flux.
