Let's Talk Hiring:
A Monthly Workshop Hosted by Spark Hire
Join Spark Hire Founder and CEO, Josh Tolan, as he sits down with talent acquisition experts to dig into the most common hiring challenges in 2025 (and how to effectively navigate them).
You can expect to hear practical guidance, strategic advice, and real-world experiences that will help empower you to take steps toward improving your hiring process.
Getting to Know Your Candidates Authentically in the AI-Enabled Hiring Landscape
Are you hiring a person or a perfectly polished AI response? Stop wasting time on résumés and applications full of keywords and start assessing for real competence… without breaking the bank or adding more work to your already busy schedule.
In this month’s installment of Let’s Talk Hiring, we’re joined by recruiting expert McKenzie Walker, who’s sharing how she overcomes the paradox of modern HR: the need to hire faster to combat labor market competition, without sacrificing quality or culture fit.
During the session, we’ll walk through how to:
- Ask authentic questions AI can’t answer.
- Use a variety of assessment types to validate soft skills.
- Keep humans in control of every decision, even with the use of AI-assistance.
🗓️ Mark your calendars for November 13 at noon ET.
