Organizations adopting these capabilities report measurable efficiency gains, but success requires platforms that integrate AI thoughtfully rather than bolting it on for competitive positioning.
PageUp presented a compelling vision at HR Tech 2025, positioning recruitment marketing as the next frontier in talent acquisition.
