Why you can’t trust the signals you hire on.

In the age of AI, the signals hiring teams have leaned on have quietly stopped working: resumes, pedigrees, take-home tests, and the interview itself. AI turned a slow erosion into a full collapse. Join Workera's Taylor Sullivan and Falen Milton for a candid conversation about how we got here, what the latest data reveals about AI-assisted misrepresentation, and why the evidence behind your most confident hiring decisions may be far weaker than it looks. A clear-eyed look at the problem every talent leader feels but few have named.

What we'll cover

• What becomes of the resume when AI can generate a perfect one, and what "human capability" even means once the old proxies stop signaling it
• Where traditional signals still hold up and where they break down, and how that varies by industry, role, and seniority level
• The widening gap between what a candidate claims and what an organization can actually trust, grounded in current data: assessment cheating roughly doubling year over year and the majority of hiring managers now suspecting AI-assisted misrepresentation
• The skills passport idea, and how candidates demonstrate ability that never shows up on a resume
• The throughline for the season: inference is incomplete, validation is opinion, verification is fact

What you'll leave with: A clear name for the problem you've been feeling, which hiring signals have quietly stopped working, and why your most confident decisions may rest on the weakest evidence.
