Dive into how AI is shaking up job hunting—are we facing chaos or a career revolution?
About this Event

Generative AI is throwing recruitment into chaos. Applications are soaring, competition is fiercer than ever and trust is eroding. Recent University of York research – – exposes a growing disconnect between employers and jobseekers. Our expert panel asks: are we witnessing a recruitment revolution or descending into a stalemate of AI assessing AI?

Join us for a panel Q&A discussion followed by a drinks reception where we can continue to chat informally.

We hope this event will be of particular interest to employers, job seekers, professionals involved in careers guidance and/or recruitment but anyone is welcome!
