2020 showcased just how far technology has come, allowing entire conferences to be held virtually — including the Spring 2021 HR Technology Conference and Expo. But for all the changes technology has brought to the workplace, companies still rely on decades-old strategies to recruit, Jackye Clayton, DEI strategist for SeekOut, said during an HR Tech keynote.
“Some of the lessons recruiters are using today are the same things we talked about 10, 15, 20 years ago,” Clayton said. And while — as the conference attests — technology can bring people together from all around the world, “we haven’t learned how to connect with people just across the street that are different from us.”
