The AI transformation in recruiting presents both unprecedented opportunities and significant threats. It's a complex situation where the same technology that promises to solve long-standing recruiting challenges is also creating new ones. The use of AI by candidates is driving up application numbers, and Gartner predicts that by 2028, one in four job applications will be fake or fraudulent.

So, how can employers ensure they are reaping the benefits of using AI in the hiring process while effectively mitigating the risks? 

My guest this week is Meredith Johnson), Chief Product Officer at Greenhouse).
