Holmdel, NJ [Sept. 24, 2025] – iCIMS, a leading talent acquisition software company trusted by the world’s best brands, is hosting iCIMS Next: AI Spotlight, a free virtual customer event, on Nov. 13. The event is designed to give talent acquisition leaders the clarity and tools to put AI agents to work and guide their organisations to a smarter, faster future with iCIMS. Attendees will gain access to the latest innovations, expert insights and real-world strategies to drive measurable recruiting ROI with AI.

According to recent iCIMS Insights, while nearly a quarter (24%) of AI adopters save more than five hours per week, those who have yet to adopt AI in their hiring are still sceptical, with just 13% of non-users expecting these results. iCIMS Next: AI Spotlight will provide the AI vision and technology talent acquisition leaders need to gain AI confidence, unlock its full potential in hiring and become agents of change. Attendees who join live will be eligible to earn SHRM and HRCI Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits.

“Talent leaders have seen the buzz around AI, but making it work in practise for their organisation requires guidance, strategy and focus,” said Nikki Grigsby, chief customer officer, iCIMS. “This is a moment for talent acquisition leaders to step forward as agents of change and shape how their organisations use AI responsibly and effectively. iCIMS Next will give our community the insights, frameworks and real-world examples they need to drive continuous transformation with confidence and turn innovation into impact.”

Highlights from the agenda include:

• iCIMS’ AI Vision and Roadmap: Eric Connors, iCIMS’ chief product officer, will provide an exclusive look at how the company’s longstanding and ongoing AI journey is shaping its product vision. Through a “show and tell,” Connors will highlight iCIMS’ AI-powered innovations, grounded in certified responsible AI, and provide a preview of its upcoming fleet of purpose-built, domain-specific agents and new frontline hiring solution.
• How TA Leaders Can Build a Responsible AI Framework: Guru Sethupathy, AI governance expert and founder & CEO of FairNow, will provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving legal, regulatory, and AI landscape. This session will explore what effective AI governance looks like, why it matters and how TA teams can lead internal AI oversight so their organisations can stay ahead.
• Tackling What’s Next with iCIMS Customers: Nikki Grigsby, iCIMS’ chief customer officer, will join iCIMS customers The Container Store and Rollins Inc. for a practical conversation on how they pursue candidate quality, streamline frontline hiring and build a future-focused AI roadmap — with the candidate experience front and center.
• AI Readiness in Practise: Building Literacy, Buy-In and Lasting Adoption: Through a rapid-fire approach, Kyle Lagunas, founder and lead analyst of Kyle & Co., and an iCIMS customer will explore what AI readiness truly means across three dimensions: technical foundations, cultural alignment and operational execution. This engaging, practitioner-led session will provide a look at key personas inside every organisation to help build literacy, win buy-in and move from apprehension to adoption.

Earlier this month, iCIMS announced the acquisition of Apli, a fast-growing, AI-powered recruitment automation innovator focused on the frontline hiring experience. The acquisition builds on iCIMS’ longstanding AI journey and strengthens its existing AI market leadership in complex enterprise recruiting and hiring – and builds on its capabilities to support high-volume hiring at scale. iCIMS customers will have the option to add the new solution, iCIMS Frontline AI.
