SUMMARY:National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE): Applicants and AI - How Gen Z's Rewriting the Recruiting Rulebook
DESCRIPTION:The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) is hosting Applicants and AI: How Gen Z’s Rewriting the Recruiting Rulebook on Tuesday\, September 22nd\, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. \nNearly 60 percent of students report using AI to prepare for interviews\, but few know whether that’s considered acceptable.

As generative AI tools like ChatGPT\, Claude\, and GitHub Copilot become embedded in everyday learning and communication\, Gen Z is redefining what it means to prepare for and participate in recruiting. \nDrawing on Rewriting the Code’s national dataset of more than 3\,500 students and early-career professionals\, this session will share original findings on how candidates are using AI\, and\, just as importantly\, where misalignment exists between student\, recruiter\, and institutional expectations. \nClick here to learn more and register.
