AI is pushing Talent Acquisition beyond process optimisation and into a new era of strategic workforce uplift.

In this executive conversation, Andrew Rhyne, Talent Acquisition, People Analytics and AI Solutions Leader at O’Brien Glass, joins Workday to explore how AI is reshaping hiring, candidate experience, and workforce agility. Through O’Brien Glass’s experience, the discussion will examine how conversational AI can act as a catalyst for broader TA transformation, helping reduce friction, increase speed, and compete more effectively for critical skills.
The session will look beyond technology to the leadership choices AI now demands: how to redesign the talent acquisition journey from workforce planning and headcount strategy through to candidate engagement and offer; how to preserve trust and human connection at scale; and how to alleviate the administrative burden that too often slows recruiters down, enabling TA teams to operate as more strategic talent advisors. Ultimately, it will explore how TA leaders can harness AI to amplify human judgment, strengthen workforce planning, and prepare their organisations for what comes next.
