About this episode
INTRODUCING AI AGENT BY JUICEBOX   AI Agents promise to revolutionise the work of recruiting but early experiments with generic products like OpenAI Operator have shown there is still some way to go - humans still needed to oversee, correct and train, especially for the unique use case of finding other human beings as candidates for the jobs we're recruiting for.   It's time for the recruitment technology vendors to step up and fill this need!   David Paffenholz, CEO of Juicebox, the company behind the groundbreaking talent sourcing tool 'PeopleGPT', think they have got the first breakthrough AI Agent focused on the recruiting use case. Let's put him and the AI Agent to the test in this LIVE DEMO of the how the product (or is it now, 'colleague'?) works.   We will learn:   - What instructions does AI Agent need to carry out its tasks? - How does AI Agent identify candidates from natural language prompts? - What sources does AI Agent use to find candidates? - How does it ensure data currency? - Does AI Agent score or rank candidates? - What is the mechanism if so? - Can AI Agent conduct outreach? - Can AI Agent conduct prescreening? - What can AI Agent NOT currently do? - How does a company optimally use AI Agent? - What is the story with compliance, especially with anticipated transatlantic divergence on AI safety? - What else do we need to know before we deploy AI Agent??       We are on Wednesday 26th February, 7am PT / 3pm GMT     Register by clicking the green button and follow the channel here (recommended)     Ep294-a is sponsored by our friends PeopleGPT by Juicebox   PeopleGPT is the leading outbound recruiting platform built on Generative AI.
