Latitude IT

🎉 What an event that was! 🎉 Last week, we hosted a highly engaging ELX roundtable in Sydney, diving into the ever-evolving impact of AI on the workplace and how businesses can work towards achieving a seamless "symbiosis" between employees and artificial intelligence. The evening began with drinks and networking, followed by an enlightening discussion led by Lisa Christy (HR Director, Wolters Kluwer), Nicole Hoare (Director of Information Management, APA), and Wendy Glasgow (CTO, GROW Inc.). Their insights sparked forward-thinking conversations on the future of AI, data strategy, and HR transformation. A huge thank you to our attendees for coming and incredible partners, Hemisphere HR, for making this event possible, and to Accor for providing their stunning venue with a breathtaking view.

AI Bots Are Flooding Job Applications: Tool or Hiring Nightmare? 🤯 Ever wondered what it's like to apply to 2,843 jobs without lifting a finger? Meet AIHawk, a viral tool that’s doing just that. According to a recent investigation by 404 Media, AI-powered bots are transforming the way job seekers apply—without the hassle of writing resumes or cover letters. Imagine sitting down for breakfast, and in the time it takes to eat toast, an AI bot has already applied for 12 jobs on your behalf. 🤯 Customised resumes, cover letters, and pitches like, “I thrive on innovation and would love to contribute to your video marketing team!”—all automated. Job seekers love it. Some claim they’ve landed interviews and offers after blasting out 150+ applications overnight. But there's a catch: There is a chance AI bots are applying to jobs that will be reviewed by AI software. We’re officially heading into a world where bots are writing for other bots to read. No humans in sight. So, is this the future of recruitment? Can these AI tools level the playing field for candidates overwhelmed by the hiring process? Or are we heading towards an era where real talent gets lost in a sea of automated spam? Recruiters, HR, and tech pros—what do you think? Is this the next big leap or a dystopian hiring disaster?
