Criteria Compass Webinar Series: ​Fixing Hiring's Front Door

Watch our quarterly Criteria Compass webinar recording from May 2026: Hiring teams are facing a growing disconnect: resumes are still the foundation of most hiring processes, yet confidence in them is rapidly declining. In fact, only one-third of employers say they trust resumes to accurately reflect candidate skills, even as application volume surges and AI-generated content becomes the norm. In our Q2 Criteria Compass webinar, we'll explore what’s driving this shift and why relying on resumes as a primary screening tool is creating more risk than clarity. Drawing on new research from Lighthouse Research & Advisory and Criteria Corp, we’ll unpack how today’s hiring environment is amplifying long-standing flaws in resume-based screening. From AI-assisted interviews to a flood of applications that dilute signal quality, employers are finding it harder than ever to identify true high performers. The result? More bad hires, more wasted time, and less confidence in hiring decisions. Most importantly, we’ll show what leading organizations are doing instead. You’ll learn how to move from “tell me” to “show me” by incorporating skills assessments, structured interviews, and real-world work samples earlier in the process. Whether you’re rethinking your screening strategy or looking to reduce hiring risk, this session will give you practical steps to modernize your approach, plus access to the full eBook for deeper insights and data.
