‘AI in Staffing’ Week Is Next Week

Next week, Aug. 18–22, ASA will host five days of events and discussions dedicated to exploring the practical uses of traditional and generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the staffing industry.

Whether you’re navigating recruitment, sales, or leadership, this information-packed week presented by the ASA staffing technology taskforce will deliver real-world insights, actionable tools, and thought-provoking discussions to help you confidently integrate AI into your daily work—including the first ASA Demo Day, a chance to hear from a select group of industry solutions providers that will showcase their solutions designed specifically for staffing and recruiting firms. Each day will spotlight key topics—including prompt engineering, ethical considerations, cybersecurity risks, and AI-powered tools in action—and the week will conclude with an AI Prompt Swap on ASA Central.

Get ready to explore how AI can work for you—not replace you. Visit americanstaffing.net/AIinstaffing to see the schedule and get more information.

ASA Staffing Index Offers Up-to-Date View of Staffing Employment

Looking for real-time data on staffing employment? The ASA Staffing Index reports weekly changes in the number of people employed in temporary and contract work, now including data on staffing starts (new assignments). The data will help your firm evaluate its performance against a national metric on both a weekly and long-term basis.

All staffing firms with U.S. operations are invited to participate in the ASA Staffing Index survey. Every Tuesday, participants receive an email with the results of the weekly survey, including figures by company size, and access to historical data and new dynamic charts. These data, which are not available anywhere else, allow staffing firms to compare how their business is doing on a weekly basis relative to similarly sized firms in the industry. There are no fees to participate in the five-question survey.

Don’t get stuck with outdated or unreliable data—sign up to participate in the ASA Staffing Index and receive the most up-to-date information about the staffing industry. For more information about the index, visit americanstaffing.net/staffing-index.
