Webinar Details:

The hiring and recruitment process has been reshaped by artificial intelligence tools. AI is being used to craft job descriptions, review candidates, write interview questions, and more. As such,  job seekers are also engaging with AI products in their job search and application process. The next APA Career Catalyst Webinar will explore options planners have to utilize AI throughout the hiring process while ensuring that their application materials and candidacy remain true to their humanity.  

Human Experience, AI Tools: Navigating the Modern Job Search will bring together planning professionals to examine the opportunities and risks associated with AI use in the hiring process, particularly for planners. Panelists will discuss how, if one chooses, AI can be used to ensure resumes align with job descriptions, to prepare for interviews, and more, while highlighting the perils of overreliance, misrepresentation, bias and more.  

Join us for a timely discussion on opportunities and considerations when adopting AI tools during the job search process.
