From Coordination to Competitive Advantage: Enhancing Scheduling with Avature

Interview scheduling can often feel like a never-ending game of calendar Tetris for recruiters, hiring managers and candidates alike, with up to 42% of recruiters’ time spent on scheduling instead of engaging talent and driving hiring outcomes.

When scheduling is fully embedded within the hiring process and unified on the same platform, something that is difficult to achieve with point solutions, it creates a significantly smoother, more connected experience for everyone involved.

Join us for this live session on April 29 as we take a deep dive into Avature’s latest scheduling capabilities and how they help organizations move beyond fragmented coordination to a more seamless, scalable approach.

What we’ll cover:

The strategic role of scheduling in modern hiring. Why poor scheduling is no longer just an operational issue, but a real risk to candidate experience, recruiter productivity and hiring outcomes.

Avature scheduling in action. We’ve made significant enhancements to scheduling, so we’ll walk through common use cases and demonstrate how they can be effectively addressed within the Avature platform.

The roadmap. As Avature continues to evolve, we’re introducing powerful new scheduling capabilities designed to support more scalable, flexible and personalized hiring experiences. You’ll get an exclusive preview of what’s coming next, before the rest of the market.

We hope you can join us!

AI Adoption in Practice: Inside IBM’s Human-AI Hybrid Operating Model

No two organizations follow the same path to AI adoption. And while AI-driven efficiency gains are increasingly within reach for many, the real differentiator is what comes next: using AI to reshape how work gets done.

Join Jon Lester, VP of HR Technology, Data & Artificial Intelligence at IBM, for a practical look at the organization’s impressive AI journey, where HR became “Client Zero” for building an enterprise-wide human–AI hybrid model, designed to turn early gains into sustained advantage at scale.

In this session, you’ll learn how IBM is approaching AI adoption in practice and how to translate the lessons to your own context:

  • Eliminate, Simplify, Automate: Learn how IBM treats AI adoption as a redesign of work—starting from the principle “never automate a bad process,” so technology amplifies value rather than inefficiency.
  • What it takes to scale AI across a complex global organization: See how IBM moved from a federated to a truly global HR operating model by consolidating systems and standardizing processes—unlocking consistent experiences worldwide and making large-scale adoption operationally viable. 
  • Redefining roles in the age of agentic AI: As autonomous AI agents take on increasingly complex tasks, learn how IBM is rethinking roles, capabilities and the structures needed for humans and AI to operate side by side.
  • Building AI-first ways of working: Hear how IBM is upskilling HR to work effectively with AI using scalable training plans to help employees learn how to interact with agents and improve how they work individually and as a function.
  • How to move fast with trust: Discover how IBM approaches responsible AI in practice—governance, oversight and controls designed to help teams move forward with confidence, while protecting quality and compliance.

Whether you’re deep into AI adoption or still defining your path, this conversation will sharpen your thinking and expand your perspective. Don’t miss it for insights on how to decide where AI should augment work, what guardrails matter and how to phase adoption for your scale and complexity. 

Beyond the System of Record: Next-Generation Core HR With Avature

Over the years, it was your needs, vision and creativity that pushed Avature to evolve—first from CRM to broader talent acquisition, then into talent management, and now beyond.

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • How Core HR processes can be modeled using Avature’s existing building blocks. See how familiar tools come together to support new types of HR use cases.
  • What’s new and how it benefits everything you already run on Avature. Get an early look at new capabilities introduced for Core HR, and how they can be reused across TA, TM and beyond.
  • Where Avature fits in your Core HR landscape. Learn how customers are using Avature to complement systems of record, reduce friction, enhance user experience and bring flexibility where traditional Core HR tools fall short.
  • How to think creatively about your next HR challenges. Walk away inspired to apply the platform in new ways, whether that’s Core HR or something entirely different.
