AI vs TA: Who’s Driving the Future of Hiring in Tech

Date: 2025 November 4
Time: 9:30 am –
11:00 am
MT
Location: Platform Innovation Centre, 407 9th Ave SE, Calgary AB

In person event: Calgary, AB

Join TAP Network and Microserve for a morning of bold practitioner-led conversations with your peers in tech talent. 

The world of tech recruiting is shifting—fast. AI is disrupting how we build teams and how we source, assess, and engage talent. New legislation is on the horizon. And yet… the talent shortage? Still very real.

So let’s talk about it. No long slide deck. No panels. No fluff. Just real talk among People & CultureTalent Acquisition and HR leaders who live and breathe tech talent. 

This isn’t about consensus—it’s about challenging assumptions, sharing lived experiences, and surfacing the hot takes you won’t find in your average LinkedIn scroll.

We’ll unpack questions like:

  • How is AI impacting quality of hire? 
  • Is AI bias really worse than human bias?
  • Should shortlisting decisions require human review?

Coffee and networking starts at 9:30am, followed by a facilitated roundtable discussion. 

Who’s this for?

This event is for tech recruiters, talent leaders, and people professionals looking to exchange insights—not job seekers. It’s designed for those leading or influencing hiring strategy, not those currently looking for their next role.

Come ready to engage, connect, share and learn from others in your field!

This event is part of Innovation Week, a week-long celebration of the people, startups, scaleups, and technologies that are defining Calgary’s future.

Keep the conversation going over lunch!
