How LevelUP Transformed Its Technology Architecture to Create an Integrated AI Recruiting Engine
AI adoption is accelerating across the recruitment process outsourcing industry, but most RPO providers are still 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 at RPOA's November iCoCo Technology & Innovation Forum for a candid discussion about moving beyond AI experimentation and building the capabilities needed for an AI-enabled RPO operating model.
Drawing on LevelUP's experience advancing AI-enabled recruiting and its strategic partnership with hireEZ, this session will explore how technology, recruiter expertise, and operational strategy must work together to deliver meaningful value to clients.
What We'll Cover
Beyond the technology: Why successful AI adoption requires more than implementing new tools, and the importance of aligning technology, people, and processes.
The evolving role of the recruiter: How AI is changing recruiting workflows and why human judgment, expertise, and oversight remain essential.
Scaling AI across complex client environments: The considerations RPO providers must navigate when introducing AI across diverse client programs and requirements.
The role of strategic technology partnerships: How collaboration between technology providers and recruiting organizations can accelerate innovation and practical application.
From AI capability to competitive advantage: What enterprise buyers increasingly expect from RPO partners and how providers can demonstrate meaningful AI maturity.
As enterprise buyers move beyond asking whether their RPO partners use AI to understanding how they use it, the opportunity for providers is to demonstrate that technology is strengthening recruiting delivery, not simply adding another layer of automation.
Attendees will gain a broader perspective on the strategic, operational, and human considerations shaping the next generation of AI-enabled RPO delivery.
