“Dr. Marcia Goddard is a force of nature on stage and off, and her session on Artificial Intelligence in Recruiting at Engage London 2018 was the highest-rated breakout session of our entire conference. With more than 1,200 attendees from all over Europe, the pressure was on Marcia to provide a compelling and thought-provoking presentation, and she succeeded brilliantly in not only commanding the audience’s attention, but also simplifying intensely complex technological ideas and synthesizing them into concepts that would resonate with both academics and non-academics alike. Her warmth and approachability combined with her ferocious intelligence and commitment to research makes her presentations unmatched in their quality.”
