“In the months of the pandemic, we pre-hired in a couple of areas, pilots in particular, because of the long training timelines,” Kate Gebo, executive vice president of human resources and labor relations at United Airlines, spoke with NBC5's Stefan Holt in a fireside chat at From Day One’s Chicago conference. “That was not something that we had historically ever done, but in the first few years of the pandemic, we hired 15,000 people each year for two years.” Gebo reflected on how United Airlines stayed ahead of the game during the pandemic, and the strategies she takes to ensure United stays in front. #FD1Conference #FD1Chicago #FD1Editorial

With every new wave of tech, there comes the fear that it will make some workers obsolete, but when it comes to artificial intelligence eclipsing recruiters, they needn’t worry, says Steve Bartel, CEO and co-founder of AI-powered recruiting platform Gem. “AI is nowhere close to completely replacing jobs. I think... AI is going to be more of a co-pilot. My read is that AI is going to really speed us up.” Bartel, who spoke with Emily McCrary-Ruiz-Esparza during a From Day One webinar on how employers are using the latest in AI to make hiring more effective and efficient, says there are two reasons AI will help rather than hinder talent acquisition. #FD1Conference #FD1Sponsor #FD1Editorial
