Behind the Curtain: How Recruiters Shortlist Devs in an AI-Driven Market and How You Stand Out

July 10, 2026 10:40 – 10:50 Β· 10 min Airstream 2

What this session covers

The job market is tougher than ever. Developers are applying everywhere, but many get ignored, skipped, or never approached. At the same time, recruiters are drowning in AI-generated applications and struggling to spot the right talent for their teams.

Both sides need to adapt.

In this talk, a recruiter spills the tea: - how to identify the RIGHT developers in an AI-driven market - what signals actually matter - how Dev’s can adapt to be seen

Developers will learn how recruiters think, how AI shortlisting works, and how to position themselves so they get seen and receive more positive responses.

Recruiters will walk away with a clearer playbook on hiring real talent.
