Roundtable Program
Biotech companies are competing for specialized talent while navigating growth, shifting strategies, market pressure and heightened expectations from employees and candidates. At the same time, AI is changing the “front door” to recruiting: candidates increasingly use AI-enabled search and recommendation tools to discover, compare and form impressions of employers before they reach a careers page or speak with a recruiter. In that environment, employer brand cannot be a polished recruiting campaign; it must be a distinctive, credible and discoverable expression of the lived experience of the organization. This panel will examine what makes an employer brand credible, how communications, people and business leaders shape it together, how AI is changing discovery and candidate experience, and how organizations sustain trust through change. The discussion will offer practical guidance for communicators, HR leaders, hiring managers, consultants and business leaders working across biotech.
