What You'll Learn

Hiring has changed—and not always in ways that make sense. From AI-written résumés to overly polished interviews, technology is reshaping recruiting on both sides of the table.

This session breaks down:

• How candidates are using AI tools (and how to spot it)
• Where AI helps—or hurts—your hiring process
• Practical strategies to stay in control
• Legal considerations you can’t afford to overlook
• Your “AI Hiring Survival Kit” for 2026 and beyond

If you screen, interview, or make hiring decisions, this session will give you clarity and confidence in a tech-heavy landscape.
