National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE): Applicants and AI - How Gen Z's Rewriting the Recruiting Rulebook
2026-09-22 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York)
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.
Nearly 60 percent of students report using AI to prepare for interviews, but few know whether that’s considered acceptable. The reality is that both candidates and employers are navigating the same uncertainty: everyone knows AI is here, but no one is quite sure when or how it should be used. 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.
Drawing 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.
