Sydney Talent Leaders Lunch

Thursday, 26th February 2026
The Winery, Surry Hills

Skills Based Hiring –
Verifying Capability in a World of AI-Written CVs

AI-generated CVs and self-reported skills are presenting an increasing problem for Talent Teams. Blind trust in this new generation of AI-driven job applications creates governance and performance risk for Organisations. Falling back on gut feel and multiple rounds of in-person interviews isn’t a defensible way to mitigate risk and personality is not a reliable indicator of performance. This leaves Talent Functions with a growing problem.  You’ll hear direct from Talent Leaders in the finance industry who have a strong skills-based hiring approach who are not falling victim to the over-inflated AI-written applications. They’ll share how they have added greater discipline around practical skill verification, improving their foresight and decision quality.

Join us for this open, insightful, and frank discussion over a gourmet lunch and drinks with 20 other Senior Talent Executives.

Register your interest below to attend this small gathering on Thursday, 26th February at The Winery, Surry Hills from 12pm – 2:30pm to enjoy a gourmet lunch.
