TELUS International has turned to an unlikely place to accelerate recruiting: the metaverse.
“We are an IT services company. Hiring highly qualified, talented team members, globally and at scale to support our own customer demands is our job, that’s our business,” said TELUS CFO Vanessa Kanu, during Fortune’s Emerging CFO discussion, a virtual conversation on Wednesday that focused on ways to address the talent gap with advanced technologies. The Canadian tech firm was able to cut down the time from application to onboarding by “well over half,” according to Kanu, by leveraging the metaverse for talent acquisition.
