Signal vs. Noise: Hiring & Getting Hired in the Age of AI
Talk Abstract
AI hasn’t just changed how we work. It’s changed hiring. Application volume is up, resumes are starting to look the same, and screening tools can miss great candidates while passing “AI-polished” noise.
In this fast-paced 20-minute session, we’ll skip the hype and focus on what actually works now for both sides of the interview table:
Hiring managers: how to find real technical signal, reduce interview burnout, and make decisions with fewer, higher-quality loops.
Candidates: how to use AI tools responsibly while making your real impact, judgment, and problem-solving stand out.
For both: common traps that stall modern hiring and a simple playbook to avoid them.
You’ll leave with practical steps you can apply immediately, whether you’re hiring for your team or preparing for your next role.
