It includes coverage of artificial intelligence (AI), algorithms, automation and machine learning and also has broader discussion of the talent supply chain and talent intelligence.
This book also explores technology for sourcing, employer branding and job adverts as well as digital pre-selection, video interviewing and virtual apprenticeships.

Throughout the book there is essential discussion of the ethics of using technologies and analytics in recruitment as well as a focus on the skills needed to be a future-proof recruiter.
