We are very excited to invite you to our webinar, held Thursday 5 November (20:00h). With three inspiring speakers who, after introductions, will engage in a vivid discussion on the use of AI / innovation in HR to improve diversity of teams, including by removing unconscious biases of interviewers. An increasingly relevant topic in today’s world, we will highlight it from different perspectives: an HR+AI service provider, an AI ethicist and a user of / investor in these services. We’re looking forward to reconnecting with you and make it an exciting evening.
