Join the North Carolina Regulatory Affairs Forum (NCRAF) and the American Medical Writers Association_Carolinas Chapter (AMWA Carolinas) for a unique joint networking and panel discussion event. In the era of artificial intelligence, the job searching and hiring process has become increasingly complex – for those looking to break into the field, for those looking for their next career move, and for companies looking to hire new employees. Are you curious about the steps that occur after candidates submit their job applications till job offers are sent out? How do recruiters, talent acquisition specialists, hiring managers, and human resources departments all work with each other and with technology to efficiently screen, interview, and hire new employees?

 Join us for a panel session during which our panelists will cover the hiring process from A to Z and share their secrets on how they match the right candidates to their companies’ needs. Enjoy an hour of networking, appetizers, and drinks, followed by a 90-minute discussion co-moderated by Abigail Agoglia, PhD (Whitsell Innovations), and Julia DiFiore, PhD (Syner-G BioPharma Group), with an open floor for audience questions.

Panelists will include:

• Brandon Jones _ Recruiter, Actalent
• Puja Merchant _ Talent acquisition specialist, Syneos
• Michele Franklin _ Talent acquisition specialist, Trilogy
• Beth Sutton _ Medical writing hiring manager, Syneos
