There’s room for women to grow in talent ops 🗣️ While women make up most of the talent ops workforce, their representation decreases as roles move up the ladder. The drop off from talent operations specialist to director of recruiting operations reflects a broader trend where women are overrepresented in entry-level roles but face challenges advancing to mid-level+ positions. There is a clear opportunity for organizations to prioritize growth for women into leadership roles.

✅ Reduced time to source from a week to 10 minutes ✅ Increased hires of teachers YoY ✅ 100% adoption by KIPP's recruiting team These are the results of KIPP Public Schools Northern California with Findem. KIPP had one main goal: finding and hiring teachers that reflected the identity of the student body. But, it faced challenges with a disconnected tech stack and a lack of visibility into best practices. Their talent team was stuck in a never-ending cycle → juggling multiple sources, creating lists, uploading them manually, and reaching out to a large pool of candidates in a separate tool. It took days to source candidates. That's when they came to Findem. Findem’s Copilot for Sourcing helps KIPP to juggle multiple sources, automating pieces of the recruiting process that once risked teachers not being placed in classrooms at the start of each school year. Using 3D candidate profiles, Sarah Braslow (Vaccaro), Associate Director of Talent, says her team could find teachers with specific certifications with a single click. With Findem as a partner, KIPP Northern California is not only meeting its recruitment goals but also building an environment where students see themselves reflected in the educators around them. “Using Findem has boosted team morale and encouraged discussions about how to do our jobs better and be better recruiters.” - Ryan Weidmann, Director of Talent

On Friday, Hariharan Kolam and Tina Paikeday joined a webinar hosted by the Berkeley Haas Center for Equity, Gender & Leadership at the University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business to share the results of a pioneering AI-driven pilot experiment. The experiment tested the hypothesis that AI could mitigate bias rather than perpetuate it. The counterintuitive findings offer new opportunities for leveraging AI to transform talent decision-making. Here are the key highlights from the event: ➡️ Pilot Results: Shared the context, methodology, and results from a board diversity search with and without AI.Pilot. ➡️ Observations: Panelists discussed the context of AI and board diversity and the trade-offs between solutions. ➡️ Innovation: Leaders shared opportunities to innovate with AI through research, direct experimentation, or partnerships. ➡️ Roundtable: Executives discussed insights, benefits, challenges, and opportunities for talent innovation through AI. The roundtable of executives, independent directors, and academic scholars underscored a larger call to action: to test, refine, and scale these AI innovations in real-world talent practices. This project goes beyond DEI to transform how decisions are made — leveraging data and AI to build a future where the best talent is identified, nurtured, and elevated. We’re excited to continue exploring how AI and data-driven strategies can transform talent practices and challenge others to test these innovations in real-world applications.

The rise of the Chief AI Officer (CAIO) 📈🤖 As companies implement AI into their business strategies, they need to define the guardrails for its compliant use. And that responsibility falls to leadership in the role of CAIO. Using 3D data from Findem’s Talent Data Cloud, we uncovered insights that will help talent teams tap into industry trends, market shifts, and strategic opportunities.

Industry leader Brett Coin reflects on the last year, and one thing is clear: talent acquisition needs a shift. Outbound sourcing alone isn’t enough—it only accounts for 15% of annual hires. That's where multichannel sourcing comes in. Organizations need a holistic approach that engages with talent across all channels: referrals, alumni, inbound applicants, and past candidates. At Findem, we've been building and refining to drive meaningful impact by: ✅ Launching Copilot for Sourcing to help streamline hiring by prioritizing warm talent pools, cutting first-contact time from 13 days to just 2. ✅ Developing Analytics Essentials that give visibility into performance and ROI, driving smarter decisions. ✅ Assembled a team of value consultants to help TA teams shift from reactive to proactive strategies. The result? Faster hiring, more diverse pipelines, and measurable impact. We’re not just adopting technology — we’re leading a movement fundamentally changing how the best talent is sourced and secured.
