The coming years are likely to see substantial changes in the nature of work and in how people find jobs. Over the last two decades, much of the job search and recruitment activity has moved online.

In this Keynote, Professors Michèle Belot and Jason Sockin will discuss ongoing research on how digital technologies can be used to improve the process of matching jobs to people. Professor Belot, who leads the Cornell Job Search Lab, develops and evaluates digital tools aimed at forming better matches and navigating structural changes, while Professor Sockin brings expertise in labor economics and the shifting dynamics of work.

This session will explore how technology can drive better job matches and address the challenges of a transforming labor market.
