About the webinar

Ageism in hiring is one of those issues everyone knows exists, but few people talk about openly.

When Simon Bucknell (Founder, EMBS Group) shared a LinkedIn post calling out age bias in recruitment, it struck a nerve with us. Here at Hubert we value ethical, responsible and fair recruitment so we wanted to bring the ageism conversation into this live webinar.

Together with Fredrik Törn (CPO, Hubert), we’ll explore what ageism really looks like in today’s hiring process, where it shows up, and how AI can be used to help reduce it. This is an honest discussion about the tension recruiters face, the responsibility that comes with AI, and what fair hiring should look like moving into 2026. What we’ll cover:

– Where age bias shows up in modern recruiting
– Why Gen X is uniquely exposed right now
– AI in hiring: risk, opportunity, and accountability
– Practical principles for responsible AI hiring
– Live Q&A

Let’s move toward hiring that’s fair, transparent, and human together.
