Beyond the CV: Skills & Potential

You’ve applied for the jobs. Now hear from the other side.

This is not another CV workshop.

You’ve probably heard endless advice about CVs, cover letters, keywords, ATS systems and now AI.

But what actually happens on the other side of your application?

On 16 October, we’re bringing that perspective directly to you.

Join Diana Mendes Gehrke, Global Talent Acquisition – TA Strategic Sourcing & Intelligence at Stellantis, for an exclusive session exploring how recruiters identify skills, potential and talent — especially when candidates are students or recent graduates without years of professional experience.

Finally, get a recruiter’s perspective on:

🔎 What makes someone stand out beyond their CV?
What catches a recruiter's attention when qualifications alone aren't enough?

🧠 How do recruiters recognise potential?
Understand how your skills, experiences and potential can speak louder than years of experience.

🤖 What’s really happening with AI in recruitment?
AI screening, automated rejection, AI-written applications — there are plenty of stories. Hear the perspective from the recruitment side.

🎯 How can you position yourself differently?
When hundreds of applicants have similar CVs — and increasingly use the same AI tools — what can actually differentiate you?

Your chance to ask the other side.

This is an external expert session, not a lecture on how to format your CV.

It’s an opportunity to understand recruitment from someone working within Global Talent Acquisition at Stellantis — and ask the questions students and jobseekers are actually worried about.
