SME Lunch and Learn - Hiring in the Age of AI: Never Been Easier to Apply. Never Been Harder to get Results.

October 13, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM (EDT)

Description

Join us for an SME Lunch and Learn session on Hiring in the Age of AI, featuring Shaun Poulton, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Genius Match.

Shaun Poulton will explore four forces impacting hiring today, fraud, application volume, candidate frustration, and legacy screening tools that were not designed for today’s hiring environment. As AI makes it easier to apply for jobs and new tools make it harder to distinguish qualified candidates from fraudulent applicants, organizations are facing growing pressure to rethink how they screen and evaluate talent. Shaun will discuss how these challenges reinforce one another, why verifying a candidate’s identity and evaluating their capabilities are two distinct steps, and where traditional hiring processes may be vulnerable. Attendees will also gain practical insights into identifying gaps in their hiring process and improving how they evaluate candidates.

This event is designed for technology, biotech, healthcare, and financial services organizations with steady hiring needs or high turnover, as well as government contractors and other services companies managing staffing requirements. It is especially relevant for organizations conducting high volume or remote hiring where interview fraud can be a greater concern. The discussion applies to hiring across functions, not only technical roles.

Shaun Poulton Chief Technology and Product Officer at Genius Match

Geni was built by Shaun Poulton at Genius Match as an AI-powered hiring platform that replaces resume screening with a real, adaptive conversation, evaluates candidates on what they can demonstrate, and makes sure every applicant gets a real response instead of silence.

Before Genius Match, Shaun led technology and product strategy as a CTO, COO, and CIO across healthcare, fintech, edtech, consulting, the public sector, and nonprofits. He built high-performing global teams, solved business problems with technology solutions, and led digital transformations at high-growth companies and large enterprises. 

In this session, he draws on that experience to break down why hiring has become harder even as applying has gotten easier, and what fixes it.
