  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

  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

  • Andrena Corby – Early Careers Programme Lead, Auckland Region, Fulton Hogan Ltd 
  • Trish Mouton, Improvement Analyst, Powerco
  • Charlie Cowell, Graduate Program Manager, Commonwealth Bank

  We’re excited to invite early careers professionals to the 38th Annual AAGE Graduate Recruitment and Development Conference!

  In 2026, we’re evolving our format to bring you the same high-quality content, thought leadership and community connection – now in a streamlined two-day program. By starting earlier on Day 1, the schedule ensures you experience all of the hallmark elements of the AAGE Conference, from inspiring keynotes, interactive workshops, the dynamic industry expo, and opportunities to exchange ideas and best practices with your peers. The Social Evening and the AAGE Gala Dinner, featuring the 2026 AAGE Graduate Recruitment Industry Awards (AGRIAs), will remain integral highlights within the two-day program.

  2026 AAGE Conference delegates also receive access upon booking their conference pass to register for our 2026 AAGE Professional Development Workshops which will take place on Friday 13th November at the Hilton Sydney, immediately following the two-day conference. These half-day learning events are $350 + GST each and must be booked separately to the conference. Due to limited availability, bookings are currently ONLY available to AAGE members who are registered 2026 AAGE Conference delegates. Please note that this offer does not extend to members who have purchased tickets to the 2026 AAGE Conference social events only.

  The AAGE Conference remains the must-attend event for anyone shaping the future of early careers. Join us to connect with like-minded professionals, learn from leading voices and walk away with insights that will influence your programs and the talent you support.
