Redesigning technical assessments for the AI era — strategies for fairly evaluating candidates when AI tools can influence coding tests.
Detecting and addressing AI-generated resumes and interview fraud — safeguarding the hiring process against deepfakes, impersonation, and AI-written applications.
Bias, fairness, and compliance in AI-powered hiring — building equitable, transparent, and legally compliant recruitment systems.
