AAGE July Webinar - AI in Talent Acquisition - Where We Are and Managing Where We Are Headed (09 Jul 2026)

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 03:00:00 GMT

Presented by Patrick Dunlop, Professor, Future of Work Institute, Faculty of Business and Law, Curtin University

It is not hard to find discussions about how Generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude have transformed the way we work. But we see much less attention given to how it has disrupted the processes involved with gaining work. And yet, many graduate recruiters are grappling with seemingly AI-generated cover letters and resumes, and responses to interview questions that are all the same. How should they respond? On the one hand, candidates using AI to help get a job feels a bit like cheating. But on the other hand, if we are to undertake work with AI now and more so in the future, then should we not reward candidates who use it to get a job?

In this session, Patrick will first provide a brief refresher on the capabilities of AI tools in the context of candidate assessment, touching on the new problem of fraudulent candidates, and share some insights from his research into how others in Talent Acquisition are reacting to it. For the remaining part of the session, we will focus on what talent acquisition leaders can do to try to manage the phenomenon, using the Forbid, Advise, Insulate, Reimagine (FAIR) model as a basis (accessible via this link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ijsa.70060).

Fair warning: there are no clear answers or guarantees out there for the “how” yet! To help us, we will unpack the strengths and limitations of different interventions, highlight where your organisations are already using FAIR, discuss when different interventions may be more (or less) appropriate, and identify some of the equity concerns that are raised when different interventions are adopted.

This webinar will be held as follows:

1.00pm - 2.30pm ACT/NSW/TAS/VIC/QLD time
12.30pm - 2.00pm SA/NT time
11.00am - 12.30pm WA time

AAGE July Webinar - AAGE & NZAGE: Early Careers Programs in a Changing Market (15 Jul 2026)

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 02:00:00 GMT

Each year, we review the evolution of early careers and graduate programs. In today’s environment, program leaders are navigating budget pressures, shifting workforce needs, evolving stakeholder expectations and the rapid rise of AI, which is reshaping candidate behaviour, recruitment processes and program delivery.

At the same time, there is increasing pressure to innovate, adapt and demonstrate meaningful impact, without losing sight of what makes a program successful.

Join the AAGE and NZAGE for this webinar as we bring together insights from our latest survey data, exploring how organisations across both countries are responding to a changing market.

You’ll also hear from a panel of experienced employers, sharing practical strategies on:

Responding to AI-driven shifts in candidate behaviour
Fostering innovation in early careers programs
Learning from peers across our international community to keep programs robust, relevant, and future-fit

What we’ll cover:

Key trends and insights from the latest research across both markets
How to demonstrate value and align with business priorities
Practical approaches to adapt and evolve your program

The Big Meet, organised by the Australian Association of Graduate Employers (AAGE), is Australia’s leading multi-university careers fair, bringing together students from all universities within each host city for a one-day recruitment event.

Why Exhibit?

The Big Meet offers exhibitors a highly efficient and cost-effective way to connect with students and graduates from multiple universities in a single day.

Whether you’re working with limited time, resources or budget, The Big Meet provides exceptional exposure to a large pool of potential candidates across a range of disciplines and institutions.

2027 Exhibitors will also have access to data, insights and case studies from the AAGE and our industry partners to help them understand the candidate market and establish themselves as an employer of choice.

The Big Meet ‘Sensory Reduced Hour’ – Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney & Brisbane

We will be running a Sensory Reduced Hour in 2027, catering to students who may find the busy atmosphere of a careers fair challenging. The Big Meet will run from 11.00am to 2.30/3.30pm with the Sensory Reduced Hour opening the event at 11.00am. The break down of event timings are listed below:

We will be managing numbers in and out of the room during this time in an effort to create a more comfortable environment for those attending. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that all students have the opportunity to connect with exhibitors in a setting that suits their needs.
