From Prompts to Placements: An AI-Powered Recruiting Playbook
A Talk by Heather Colvin (Senior Technical Recruiter, Smart Data)
About this Talk
Recruiting has changed - speed and precision are no longer optional; they’re expected. In this session, you’ll see how prompt engineering, recruiter instinct, and business alignment come together in a repeatable playbook that turns sourcing inputs into real placements.
Whether you’re a Hiring Manager facing a backlog, or a leader trying to keep projects moving with limited bandwidth, this playbook shows how AI can streamline candidate discovery, sharpen qualification, and accelerate decision-making - without losing the human connection that closes the hire.
What you’ll walk away with:
- A step-by-step framework to go from first prompt to first pipeline in hours, not weeks.
- Real examples of how AI shortens time-to-fill while improving quality of hire.
- A practical look at how to partner with a recruiter who blends human instinct with AI precision.
This isn’t theory. It’s a recruiting system designed for impact, speed, and results.
