TL;DR
AI and human-centric strategies were key themes at Talent Connect 2024, with many speakers underscoring how technology can enhance but not replace the human touch in talent processes.
LinkedIn announced its new Hiring Assistant and an expansion of LinkedIn Learning, offering scalable, personalized AI tools for recruitment and skill-building but raising questions about data quality, adoption, and maintaining human insight.
Sessions emphasized the balance of AI integration with people-first leadership and learning cultures, emphasizing that successful adoption requires strategic planning, training, and an inclusive approach.
LinkedIn Talent Connect 2024 took place at the historic Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, AZ, from October 28-30. This invitation-only event brought together HR leaders, industry experts, and talent professionals to explore the future of work, with a particular emphasis on how AI is shaping the landscape. Over the course of 2.5 days, attendees were immersed in keynotes, panel discussions, and hands-on sessions that highlighted approaches to talent acquisition, development, and retention. This Road Report delves into the main insights from the event, the notable product announcements, and key themes from various sessions.
