AI Recruiter’s Insight On The New Hiring Reality

Welcome to the 8th virtual event of the “Gen AI in FinTech & EdTech” meetup in 2025: “AI Recruiter’s Insight on the New Hiring Reality”.

Gen AI in FinTech & EdTech is dedicated to discussing and sharing the latest trends, best practices, use cases, and regulatory considerations for Gen AI applications in FinTech and EdTech industries in Australia and globally.

Event Description:

Hiring has changed: each role now attracts hundreds of applicants, and many resumes are AI-written—and obvious. In this talk, Sydney-based AI recruiter Rohan Jetha unpacks what’s really happening inside Australian hiring funnels and shows a practical job-seeker AI agent that helps candidates apply to more roles with tailored CVs and cover letters (without going generic). Attendees leave with a 7-day action plan, guardrails to keep AI outputs honest, and simple tactics to rise above the noise.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand how AI reshaped hiring in Australia (2020→2025) and what recruiters actually screen for.
• Use a practical job-seeker AI workflow to create role-specific CVs/CLs and targeted hiring-manager emails for next role.
• Apply the “signal over spam” framework: relevance, proof points, and ethical automation.
• Adopt a 7-day action plan to increase interviews without blasting generic applications.

Featured Speakers:

Rohan Jetha (guest speaker)

Rohan Jetha runs a solo recruitment business in Sydney and specialises in building AI automations that make hiring faster and more precise. For recruitment agencies, he ships end-to-end workflows—job sourcing, hiring-manager discovery, personalised outreach, and Airtable tracking. For candidates, he builds job-seeker agents that turn a single job link into a tailored CV, focused cover letter, and a concise hiring-manager email—so people can apply smarter across any industry. Prior to recruiting, Rohan held roles as a Technical Product Manager and Head of Operations, working across eCommerce, healthcare, and fintech. That mix of product, operations, and hands-on recruiting informs his practical approach: real workflows, measurable outcomes, and tools teams can use the same week.
