Register today for SMART IDEAS Summit 6 – a free, virtual education event just for staffing and recruiting pros.

Staffing firms are under pressure to invest in AI.

But not every use case delivers meaningful value. Some improve speed, quality, and productivity. Others create new expenses, unnecessary complexity, or tools that teams rarely use.

The question is not whether your firm should use AI.

It is where AI can produce a measurable return.

In the 2:00 session at SMART IDEAS Summit 6, Lauren B. Jones of  Leap Advisory Partners will present “The AI Agency Multiplier: Where AI Drives ROI in Staffing — and Where It Burns Budget.”

This session will help staffing leaders evaluate AI opportunities with a more practical business lens.

Attendees will explore how to:

• Identify high-value use cases
• Evaluate potential return
• Avoid technology for technology’s sake
• Recognize hidden implementation costs
• Prioritize adoption
• Align AI investment with business goals
• Measure whether tools are producing results

AI can accelerate an effective workflow.

It can also accelerate a broken one.

Before investing, firms need to understand the problem they are solving, the process that must change, and the outcome they expect to improve.

That discipline can help leaders make smarter technology decisions and avoid expensive distractions.

Join Lauren during SMART IDEAS Summit 6 on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.

You will gain a clearer framework for determining where AI can multiply performance—and where it may simply multiply costs.
