AI-Era Candidate Risks: How TA Leaders Protect Quality of Hire (and Their Jobs)
Let’s face it: TA is nervous—and with good reason.
AI is rapidly reshaping hiring and how we work, but not always in the right ways. While some platforms automate the wrong things—like interviews and decisions meant for humans—job seekers are using Gen AI to game the system, look perfect on paper, and land roles they might not be qualified for. The result? Everyone looks like a great candidate—until they’re hired.
Traditional hiring tools are no longer sufficient in today’s fast-moving digital landscape. As candidates use technology and AI to shape their personal brands, recruiters can struggle to see beyond the resume. This limited visibility can leave organizations exposed to risks like workplace misconduct, reputational harm, and safety concerns. By leveraging automated online screening across thousands of public sources, hiring teams can proactively identify red flags such as threats, violence, or fraud—helping them maintain a safer, more inclusive workplace and make more informed hiring decisions.
In this webinar, join Keirsten Greggs, founder of TRAPRecruiter, and Ben Mones, CEO of Fama, for a real-world look at how talent leaders are balancing AI automation with human judgment to reduce risk, improve quality of hire, and future-proof their roles.
You’ll learn:
- How to identify where AI should be used—and where humans must stay in the loop
- What recruiters can do to evaluate culture fit, risk, and authenticity in an AI-driven world
- Why online behavior signals are the new key to hiring ethically, intelligently and improves quality of hire
