  • AI & Recruitment Employer Panel

    1:00pm – 2:00pm in Alumnae Lounge 
    Tufts is excited to host panelists from Wayfair, Formlabs, and JobScan to share their insights on how AI is utilized in their recruitment processes, how AI can be leveraged to support the early career job search process, as well as what pitfalls to avoid in using AI.

    This panel will highlight how artificial intelligence is being utilized in the hiring process—and how college applicants can navigate it wisely. As AI tools become more common in both application creation and employer screening, understanding how to use them effectively (and avoid missteps) is becoming an essential career skill. This session offers a practical look at how AI shows up in the internship and full‑time job search, and how students can leverage these tools for the best outcomes.
