Can you spot a genius on a resume? In this interactive workshop, you'll compete against AI to identify exceptional talent—candidates like Einstein, Musk, and Mandela who failed traditional resume screens.
You'll review real anonymized resumes and vote on who you'd hire. Then watch as AI analyzes the same candidates in seconds, revealing why traditional screening misses transformational talent.
Through live demonstrations, you'll discover how LLMs read resumes, why AI excels at technical matching but fails at soft skills, and the optimal hybrid approach: AI for screening efficiency, humans for cultural fit. You'll leave with a practical framework for leveraging AI to eliminate bias, reduce time-to-hire by 70%, and discover exceptional candidates your competitors overlook.
