Our latest Learn over Lunch 30-minute webinar takes place on Wednesday, 11 March at 12.30pm with Sinead English, founder and CEO of Hilt. This session is designed for hiring managers, HR professionals and business leaders who want to protect the integrity of their hiring decisions while being realistic about the role AI now plays in the recruitment landscape.
AI tools are rapidly changing how candidates prepare for, and sometimes perform in, job interviews. But how you tell when answers aren’t the candidate’s own? And more importantly, how should your interview processes evolve in response? In this 30-minute session you will learn:
- How AI is being used (and misused) in interviews
- Key signs that candidate answers may be AI-generated and how to adapt interview techniques to reveal genuine experience, thinking and capability
- How to respond to candidate AI use fairly and effectively without trying to ban AI use altogether
- Why human-in-the-loop and transparency when hiring and interviewing are now non-negotiable
- What questions to ask of AI enabled recruitment technology vendors
Sinead English is founder and CEO of Hilt and specialises in advising organisations on how to adapt to evolving interview formats, changing candidate behaviour and the growing influence of AI in the hiring process. With experience of advising employers across multiple industries, she brings a practical, real-world perspective to recruitment challenges, focusing on what works in interviews to identify candidates that will successfully contribute to your business. Sinead is a regular media speaker on careers and employment issues and is known for translating complex trends into clear, actionable advice for hiring managers.

Over 160 billion times a day, someone taps a like button. How could something that came out of nowhere become so ubiquitous—and even so addictive? How did this seemingly ordinary social media icon go from such a small and unassuming invention to something so intuitive and universally understood that it has scaled well beyond its original intent? This is the story of the like button and how it changed our lives. In Like, bestselling author and renowned strategy expert Martin Reeves and coauthor Bob Goodson — Silicon Valley veteran and one of the originators of the like button — take readers on a quest to uncover the origins of the thumbs-up gesture, how it became an icon on social media, and what’s behind its power.
