Inside today’s hiring process, from ATS and AI screening to resumes, referrals, and recruiter outreach Every hiring cycle generates its own mythology. Beat the ATS. Message recruiters the “right” way. Optimize for AI. Follow this template. Avoid that word. But how much of what applicants hear is grounded in reality, and how much is career lore passed down without context? In this candid panel discussion, talent acquisition experts pull back the curtain on how hiring actually works today. From applicant tracking systems and AI-assisted screening to resume reviews, LinkedIn outreach, and human judgment, our panel will separate enduring truths from outdated advice and explain what really influences hiring decisions in the current market. Designed for Fuqua alumni across graduation years as well as current students, this session will focus on practical insights, nuanced trade-offs, and real-world recruiter perspective, not gimmicks or one-size-fits-all tactics. Topics will include: ·         How ATS and AI are truly used in screening, and where their influence begins and ends ·         What “beating the ATS” gets right, what it gets wrong, and what applicants should focus on instead ·         How recruiters interpret LinkedIn outreach, referrals, and personal branding ·         What makes candidates stand out in a strong, credible way ·         Common mistakes well-qualified candidates still make ·         Recruiters’ current pulse on the job market and evolving hiring signals Expect an honest conversation grounded in experience, clarity over hype, and advice you can actually apply, whether you’re exploring your first post-graduate role, making a pivot, or navigating the market as a seasoned alum.   Panelists: Ted Johnson Erin Fulfer MBA 04
