The market for tech engineers is highly competitive. Here are three ways to pick the right candidate and improve the chance they’ll pick you.

Today’s use of artificial intelligence and machine learning ranges from fighting bias to organizing your Netflix watchlist. Just about every industry is using these technologies, and companies are exploring how to apply them to their business processes.

Even a 168-year-old insurance company is taking action. In July 2020, Travelers announced it wanted to fill 500 technology jobs — many of them AI-related — by the end of the year.

“We know that we’re not the only ones,” said Mojgan Lefebvre, executive vice president and chief technology and operations officer at Travelers Insurance. “These are the areas that everybody is really clambering toward recruiting for.”

Lefebvre shared the insurance company’s hiring strategy at the virtual MIT Sloan CIO Symposium, where she was joined by Claus Jensen, then chief digital officer and chief technology officer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Jensen is now chief innovation officer at health care company Teladoc.
