You’re Still Figuring AI Out. Candidates Have Figured Out How to Get Past You.
Hiring used to be hard. Now it’s just plain weird.
The resumes? Written by bots. (Yeah, we know you’ve noticed.)
The applications? Flooding in—but totally unrelated to the job.
The candidates? Catfishing hiring managers virtually, then crumbling in person.
While you’ve been figuring out how to use AI in your process, candidates have been racing ahead with tools that are reshaping how they apply, how they interview, and how they show up on screen.
You’re not imagining it. This is the new normal and you’re now dealing with a hiring landscape no one prepared you for.
We’re here to help you make sense of it—and take back control before it spirals.
Catfish-Proof Your Hiring. And Learn to Use AI Without Regret.
This isn’t another “exploring AI in HR” webinar. It’s a no-fluff, eye-opening session that unpacks what’s actually happening in today’s hiring process—and how to take back control.
We’ll break down the AI-generated resumes, the coached-to-perfection interviews, and the influx of unqualified candidates showing up in your pipeline. You’ll get a clear view of how candidates are using AI (more than you think), how recruiters are struggling to keep up, and how to use AI yourself—ethically, effectively, and with zero regret.
No hype. No fear tactics. Just what’s real—and what to do about it.
