AI was supposed to make the job search easier. But for most job seekers (and especially senior leaders), it is creating an entirely new set of challenges. AI-generated résumés, increased application volume, and automated screening are all making it harder for even highly qualified leaders to stand out. Listen till the end for a practical conversation about three ways AI is changing the executive job search and what you can do to stay visible, differentiate your value, and compete for the right opportunities. We cover how to use AI strategically, what hiring teams are doing differently, and why your positioning, relationships, reputation, and leadership story matter more than ever.
