Hi C***, Friday at 10:00 AM CT works perfectly,I’ll send over a calendar invite with a Zoom link shortly. Here’s a high-level glimpse ahead of our call: 1. ATS Roadmap - We’re in the midst of a phased upgrade to our core system, focusing first on tighter HRIS integration (for seamless data flow across onboarding, performance and workforce planning). - Next up is rolling out AI-driven screening modules, enhanced analytics dashboards for real-time pipeline and diversity metrics, and a more intuitive candidate portal to boost engagement and velocity. 2. Global TA Team Structure - Roughly 45 talent professionals organized into three regional pods (Americas, EMEA and APAC), each led by a Regional Head of TA. - Within each pod, specialists are aligned by function,IT, Distribution, Retail Management and Corporate,so we can tailor sourcing and employer branding in each area. - You would partner directly with the Regional Heads and a small Center of Excellence team focused on ATS/HRIS optimization, data reporting and compliance. I’ll be eager to dive deeper on Friday. In the meantime, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to pull together for our discussion. Looking forward to connecting! Best, J*** HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi C***, Great questions. Here’s a bit more color ahead of Friday: 1. ATS Replacement & HRIS Integration - We’re retiring our legacy O***e T***o instance and rolling out G***e as our new global ATS. - On the HRIS side, we’re integrating W***y to create a seamless data flow from requisition through onboarding, performance and workforce planning. 2. CoE,Pod Analytics Partnership - Our Center of Excellence is a small team of data analysts, reporting specialists and system architects. Day-to-day they: • Build and maintain standardized Power BI dashboards covering pipeline health, diversity metrics, time-to-fill and quality-of-hire. • Host weekly metric huddles with each regional pod (Americas, EMEA, APAC) to review trends, troubleshoot roadblocks and surface strategic insights. • Provide on-demand “office hours” and ad-hoc analyses when pods need deeper dives or custom reporting. • Embed an analyst into each pod one day a week to coach on tool usage, ensure data governance and tailor reports to local needs. This model keeps our regional teams close to the data while centralizing best practices and analytics expertise. Looking forward to unpacking this further on Friday at 10 AM CT. Please let me know if you’d like any additional materials beforehand! Best, J***

Hi C***, Great questions,here’s a bit more color: 1. AI-Driven Screening in G*** • We’ve built a three-stage workflow: automated parsing + keyword matching against our top competencies; structured “knockout” questions with weighted scorecards tailored by function; and a bias-mitigation layer that blind-screens personal data and enforces minimum diversity thresholds. • Best practices we’ve landed on: limit each scorecard to 6,8 critical attributes to prevent overfitting; host quarterly calibration sessions with hiring managers to realign weights; and integrate real-time KPIs (e.g., diversity conversion, quality-of-hire) into the screening algorithm so we can tweak cut-offs on the fly. 2. Recent CoE Insight in Action In our last weekly huddle, the EMEA pod flagged a slow cycle time for software engineers,turns out their sourcing filters were too narrow. The CoE team recommended expanding the AI keyword set to include adjacent titles (e.g., “software developer” vs. “SDET”) and adding a fast-track phone screen trigger at 3 days. Within six weeks, time-to-fill dropped by 15% and acceptance rates rose 10%. We’ve since shared that tweak with Americas and APAC pods with equally strong results. Happy to walk you through our G*** configuration grid or dive deeper into any of these points on Friday. Looking forward to our conversation at 10 AM CT! Best, J***

Hi C***, Great questions,here’s how we approach both the bias-mitigation layer and our calibration rigor: 1. Establishing & Tweaking Diversity Thresholds • We start by benchmarking our candidate flow against labor-market availability for each role (e.g., gender, ethnicity, veteran status). From there we set a minimum “diversity pass rate” , typically 30,40% of candidates advancing per stage must meet our under-represented criteria. • Each week, our CoE dashboards compare actual vs. target pass rates; if we see a shortfall, we adjust the weighted cut-offs in G*** (e.g., boost scores on defined diversity attributes or lower keyword thresholds for certain groups). • To validate impact we track stage-by-stage conversion ratios by demographic cohort, aggregate “impact ratios” (offer rate for under-represented vs. majority groups), and downstream quality-of-hire and retention metrics at 3- and 6-month intervals. 2. Quarterly Calibration Sessions • We invite a cross-functional group: regional Heads of TA, 2,3 hiring managers per function, our DE&I lead, and CoE analysts. • We run a blind-resume scoring exercise: everyone scores the same batch of 20 anonymized profiles against the standard scorecard. We then compute inter-rater reliability (Cohen’s kappa and percent agreement) and review any attributes with low alignment. • Based on those results, we realign weighting, refine attribute definitions, and share a calibration deck summarizing agreement trends over time. Our goal is to keep kappa above 0.7 and reduce score variance by at least 15% quarter-over-quarter. Happy to walk through a sample calibration deck and live thresholds dashboard on our call Friday. Let me know if you’d like any additional pre-reads! Looking forward to discussing this at 10:00 AM CT. Best, J***

Hi C***, Great questions,here’s how we handle both: 1. Labor-Market Benchmarks • Data sources: We draw on U***S B***u of L***r S***s (OES), E***i B***s trends, L***n T***t I***s, and annual industry compensation surveys (e.g., M***r, R***d). We also layer in our internal ATS/HRIS metrics for real-time calibration. • Refresh cadence: Core thresholds are revisited quarterly; we’ll trigger an out-of-cycle review if we see a sudden shift in supply/demand or compensation trends in any region or function. 2. Kappa < 0.7 Playbook • Rapid diagnostics: CoE runs a mini calibration on a fresh batch of anonymized profiles to pinpoint low-agreement attributes. • Targeted recalibration: Within one week, we convene the original hiring managers, DE&I lead and CoE analyst for a focused workshop,refining attribute definitions, adjusting score weights and sharing best-practice examples. • Reinforcement & follow-up: We roll out the updated scorecard, host one-on-one coaching sessions, then re-score a small set of profiles two weeks later to confirm kappa is back above 0.7. I’m happy to share a short “sources & cadence” snapshot or a sample playbook ahead of our 10:00 AM CT call on Friday. Let me know! Looking forward to our conversation. Best, J***

Hi C***, I’ve just emailed you two attachments: 1. Data Sources & Refresh Cadence One-Pager , Outlines our benchmarks (BLS OES, E***i B***s, L***n T***t I***s, M***r/R***d) , Details our quarterly review process and triggers for out-of-cycle updates 2. Sample Kappa Playbook , Identifies key stakeholders (CoE analysts, regional TA heads, DE&I lead, hiring managers) , Breaks down timelines for rapid diagnostics, recalibration workshops and follow-up scoring Feel free to review ahead of our Friday 10:00 AM CT call and let me know if you have any questions or need additional context. Looking forward to our discussion! Best, J***
