About this event

In today’s job market, AI isn’t just a tool—it’s the gatekeeper to your next career move. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and AI-driven screening tools analyze resumes in seconds, deciding which applications move forward and which are filtered out.

But how do these systems work, and how can you ensure your resume makes the cut? This panel will discuss the changing role of AI in hiring, address inherent biases, and offer guidance to candidates navigating this new environment.

Join us for an eye-opening discussion on how AI is shaping hiring, and how you can make sure your resume doesn’t get lost in the machine. Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • The AI Evolution in Recruitment: How AI-powered screening systems evaluate resumes and whether traditional formats still hold up.
  • Strategies for Crafting AI-Friendly Resumes: Keywords, formatting tricks, and how to balance AI optimization with human readability.
  • Understanding Automated Screening Pitfalls: Why some resumes get rejected and how to avoid common mistakes.
  • Empowering Candidates to Navigate AI Bias: How to ensure your resume is evaluated fairly and advocate for transparency in the hiring process.
  • The Future of Hiring: Will AI replace human decision-making? And what role will ethics play in the future of AI-driven recruitment?

Get ready to learn how to beat the bots, optimize your resume, and ensure your application gets noticed in an increasingly automated hiring landscape.


Tickets include: drinks + light refreshments
