Retirement living organizations face ongoing workforce shortages, rising applicant volumes, and evolving regulatory requirements such as Bills 149 and 190. Effective recruitment governance—and responsible use of technology—has become essential. This fast-paced and highly practical workshop will explore how AI-enabled Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can streamline hiring while enhancing transparency, consistency, and compliance across organizations. Attendees will learn how AI-assisted screening, resume parsing, candidate scoring, and automated communication tools support equitable, efficient hiring. Real examples from Canadian care settings will highlight how AI and ATS automation reduce administrative burden and time-to-hire. Attendees will leave with actionable tools, policy considerations, and a clear roadmap for modernizing hiring governance in their organizations using responsible AI-supported practices.
