Summary:&nbsp; AI has permanently changed the hiring landscape. Candidates can now generate polished resumes, rehearse optimized answers, and even receive real-time coaching during the interview itself. The result? Interview performance no longer guarantees job performance. If your hiring process still relies on traditional resumes, past experience, and scripted behavioral questions, you&#39;re selecting for preparation, not capability. And it could be costing your organization hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary, lost productivity, delayed execution, and workplace tension.&nbsp; Kolby offers practical on how to rebuild your hiring process around three touchpoints, job posting language, interview design, and culture fit, so you&#39;re consistently attracting and identifying candidates who can actually solve the problems your team is facing, not just candidates who look good on paper or interview well.&nbsp; Learning Objectives:&nbsp;<ul fr-original-style="text-align: start;" style="text-align: start; box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Spot the difference between polished candidates and genuine problem solvers.&nbsp;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Rewrite job postings around real problems to be solved, not background checklists.&nbsp;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Replace predictable, &quot;guessable&quot; interview questions with live, scenario-based prompts that reveal real thinking and applied ability under pressure.&nbsp;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Evaluate candidate impact potential rather than relying on past roles or AI-crafted resumes.&nbsp;</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Build a hiring workflow that speeds up time-to-impact and supports long-term team performance.&nbsp;</li></ul>Bio:&nbsp; Kolby Goodman is a keynote speaker and hiring strategist helping organizations navigate a new reality: candidates now use AI to polish resumes, rehearse interviews, and outperform traditional evaluation methods.
