Evolving Candidate Experience: From Automation to Authentic Connection 🖥️
In the second of our Spring Series of webinars, we are tackling one of the biggest challenges facing Early Careers teams today – how to maintain authenticity and a human touch in an AI-driven hiring landscape.
Join us for a practical and thought-provoking discussion led by Cassie Sissons, COO at Amberjack, alongside a panel of client guests.
We’ll be covering:
✅ Why candidate experience is more critical than ever in an AI-enabled world
✅ How to balance efficiency and automation with authenticity
✅ What “human-first” hiring looks like in modern Early Careers programmes
✅ Practical ways to enhance engagement without adding pressure to your team
If you’re responsible for Early Careers, candidate experience, or talent acquisition strategy, and want to ensure your approach stands out in an increasingly automated market, this session is for you.

Product News
Our newly-created AI Assessment Platform can help you identify people who can collaborate with intelligent tools, adapt quickly and solve problems creatively. Identifying these strengths now ensures a future-ready workforce that will thrive in an AI-driven economy.
This solution isn’t about restricting AI use; it’s about understanding how candidates engage with it in a secure, insightful, and future-facing way.
Case Study
Each month we shine a spotlight on a recent client project and how our solutions helpedmake a real difference.
We supported Scottish Power by engaging their new hires during their ‘keep warm’ period. We delivered four workshops on personal brand and transition to work life in order to build connections for graduates before starting their role to help them get work ready.
If you have any projects that you need support with, or if you’d like to discuss any of the topics covered further, our team will be happy to help.
