Generative AI is changing how candidates apply and challenging how employers identify talent. As AI tools make it easier to produce polished resumes and submit applications at scale, recruiters face a “signal-to-noise crisis”: How do you distinguish genuine capability in an increasingly crowded applicant pool?
Join AJ Faraj, founder of SorsX, and Nicole Belyna, SHRM’s Director of Talent for a forward-looking discussion of five responses reshaping global hiring: renewed reliance on employee referrals, skills-based assessments, internal mobility and reskilling, rising entry-level expectations, and the escalating competition between candidate-side and employer-side AI tools. Explore what these shifts mean for your hiring strategy, where human judgment adds value, and which approaches could create a competitive advantage over the next two to three years.
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize how AI-driven application volume and tailored resumes challenge traditional screening and affect employers’ ability to identify qualified candidates.
- Evaluate five emerging hiring responses and determine how each can support candidate assessment, talent development, and changing workforce needs.
- Identify priorities for adapting their talent acquisition strategy over the next two to three years, balancing AI capabilities with skills validation and human judgment.
Is your hiring strategy ready for what’s next? Learn how to spot genuine capability beyond a polished resume and adapt your approach for the AI era. Cut through the noise. Register now to sharpen your hiring strategy.
