/ About this event
What to expect:
🥤 2:00 PM | Settle in. Grab drinks and bites.
🎤 2:10 PM | Founder Chat. A short, honest chat about why résumé filters keep missing great people, what we’ve built over the last year, and how CORA scores verified skill instead of keywords.
⚡ 2:20 PM | Demo. Showcasing what skills-first hiring looks like.
💬 2:35 PM | Open Discussion. AI in hiring, skills verification, and what changes when employers can see what people can actually do. Bring your questions and your hot takes.
💻 3:00 to 5:00 PM | Open Lab. Build your VRIFYD profile in the room, whether you’re a job seeker, an employer, or a talent developer (laptop or tablet preferred). Get free 1:1 support on career navigation, talent acquisition challenges, and workforce development strategy. Drop-ins welcome.
Getting hired shouldn't mean tricking an algorithm.
Yet here we are: keyword-stuffing résumés, gaming the ATS, feeding company values back to a screener in its own language, while employers run the same filters everyone else runs and end up cloning one narrow profile. Stanford has a name for it: algorithmic monoculture. We just call it noise.
VRIFYD built CORA to quiet it. An agentic AI layer that scores people on verified skill, not vocabulary, working for the candidate and the employer at the same time.
Not another résumé filter, but a different question entirely.
Not who wrote the best keywords, but who can actually do the work.
Not one algorithm cloning itself across every company, but real signal, checked and shown.
Come see what hiring looks like in real time. Pre-register and build your profile at vrifyd.ai, whether you're looking to get hired, find talent, or connect your learners to opportunity.
Who should be in the room: talent developers, employers, HR and People leaders, founders, investors, AI builders, and job seekers.
