We have all seen how AI and automation are reshaping how hiring happens — from resume screening to interview selection. For job seekers, that means previous approaches need to be updated to meet current conditions. Today, successful applications must be intentional, human-centered, and optimized for AI-driven systems.
In this interactive session, leaders from rhum.hr will demystify how artificial intelligence is used in the hiring process and share practical strategies to help your resume stand out. You’ll learn:

✨ How Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan resumes and what recruiters actually see.
✨ The role of keywords, formatting, and clarity in getting your resume past the digital gatekeepers.
✨ How to highlight your unique strengths without losing authenticity.
✨ Ways to align your personal story and values with today’s evolving hiring processes.
You’ll leave with clear, actionable tools for writing resumes and applications that get noticed — and that feel true to who you are. The session will close with a Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask your own questions and gain real-world insights for your next job search.
