How is artificial intelligence being used for hiring, and why? How can better understanding of how these tools work improve the hiring experience for employers and job seekers?
Please join us on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, 1:00-2:00pm EDT for a free webinar exploring these questions with investigative reporter and Pulitzer Center grantee Hilke Schellmann.
The event will start with a brief presentation from Schellmann on her process for investigating the use of AI for hiring, trends in how tools are used, and what she has learned about how these tools can best be leveraged for improving the hiring process. Schellmann will outline concrete tips that attendees can use while navigating the hiring process. She will then engage with questions from the audience.
