PROGRAM - 8:00 - 9:00 AM Smart Hiring: AI Tools, Gen Z Expectations, and Ethical Best Practices
DESCRIPTION/COURSE OVERVIEW
This session digs into how AI is changing how companies recruit - for better and worse. We'll explore how companies are actually using AI in hiring and what that means for people who apply to your jobs. We will discuss specific expectations that Gen Z candidates have about AI in the application process. Through examples, we'll talk about what can go wrong and how to avoid those pitfalls. We'll then identify what good AI recruitment looks like in practice. You will walk away with concrete ideas for using AI tools in ways that make hiring more effective without sacrificing fairness or turning off great candidates.
