It’s no secret Bullhorn Engage is one of PARQA’s all-time favorite annual events, and this year certainly didn’t fall short. One of the most stand-out parts of the event every year is the keynote speech from Art Papas, CEO & Co-Founder of Bullhorn.
This year’s keynote session was particularly engaging as he spoke about the changing talent landscape, automation and AI, and the ways that technology will shape the future of staffing. Lots of timely topics for 2023, especially with the rise of ChatGPT and all things AI.
In this year’s keynote speech, Art covers:
-
- Automation and AI are transforming the staffing industry: Papas emphasized the rise of automation and AI tools, highlighting their potential to create new jobs and industries, and even introducing Bullhorn’s new tool, Co-Pilot, which utilizes large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Bard via API for internal messaging creation.
While AI will revolutionize various aspects of recruiters’ roles, it won’t replace them entirely. By leveraging AI to automate processes and enhance recruiter efficiency, staffing firms can achieve significant advancements. We speak more on this in our Bullhorn Engage 2023 Recap article here.

-
- The power of combining relationship-building skills with AI: Papas stressed the importance of recruiters combining their relationship-building skills with AI technology. By harnessing AI to expedite tasks such as drafting messages, recruiters can enhance their productivity while maintaining the personal touch that is crucial in building meaningful connections with candidates.
-
- The opportunity for staffing firms to embrace automation: Despite the significant potential of automation and AI, the staffing industry is still in the early stages of widespread adoption. Bullhorn’s 2023 Industry Trends Report revealed that only 19% of staffing companies fully utilize automation, compared to 100% in the retail industry. This indicates a substantial opportunity for staffing firms to further leverage automation and gain a competitive edge in the market.
