AI adoption is accelerating across the recruitment process outsourcing industry, but most RPO providers remain in the early stages of integrating AI into their operations. According to RPOA's 2026 AI research, 91% of RPOs remain in the laggard or early stages of AI adoption, while only 7% have reached an integrated, AI-enabled level of maturity.
What does it take to make that transition?
Join LevelUP HCS and hireEZ for a candid discussion about moving beyond AI experimentation to building an integrated, AI-enabled RPO operating model.
Drawing on LevelUP's experience advancing AI-enabled recruiting and its strategic partnership with hireEZ, this session will examine how technology, recruiter expertise, and operational strategy must work together to deliver meaningful value to clients.
As enterprise buyers move beyond asking whether their RPO partners use AI to understanding how they use it, RPO providers have an opportunity to demonstrate that technology strengthens recruiting delivery rather than simply adding another layer of automation.
Attendees will gain strategic, operational, and human perspectives on building and scaling AI-enabled recruiting capabilities.
