Hiring Beyond 2025: Breaking the Algorithm, Beating the Bots, and Building Better Teams

Hiring today is broken. Candidates are getting filtered out by AI before a human even sees their application, and hiring managers are often relying on outdated methods that don’t assess the full potential of a candidate. This discussion will tackle hiring challenges from both sides of the table:
- How candidates can stand out despite AI screening and generic recruitment pipelines.

• Why skills, mindset, and cultural fit matter more than portfolios or take-home assignments, and how hiring managers can assess them effectively.
• How hiring managers can better brief recruiters to identify the right talent, even if they aren’t design or product experts.
• How teams are using AI and hiring tech effectively without missing top candidates or introducing bias.
• Real-world hiring strategies to improve hiring outcomes for both job seekers and hiring managers.
