Sam Velu – Satisfy the Bot, Please the Boss – Plainsboro Public Library
Plainsboro Public Library, 9 Van Doren St, Plainsboro Township, NJ 08536, USA
On June 18, HireVue launched a voice AI that interviews every applicant 24 hours a day and scores them before a recruiter ever picks up the phone. The first-round screen is quietly being handed to an AI agent that talks back and asks follow-up questions.
Then comes the part nobody warned you about. Roughly half of hiring managers now automatically dismiss resumes they suspect were written by AI. The detection tools they trust to make that call are demonstrably unreliable. One Stanford-led study found seven leading detectors flagged human-written essays by non-native English speakers as machine-generated 61% of the time.
So you must satisfy a machine that rewards structure, and then a human who punishes it. That is the double bind, and this session resolves it.
Every tool demonstrated in this session works on a free account. No subscriptions or products to buy.
Sam Velu is an AI Workforce Strategist and Certified AI Officer, VP of Delivery & Sales at Amzur Technologies, and co-author of “The Smart Job Seeker’s Guide to AI.” He has trained 600+ professionals and has 25+ years in workforce development.

Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search.
