Hiring by Design: Career Mastery in the Age of AI by Dr. Emily Lewis
For Higher Education Career Services

Help students navigate the hiring process in the age of AI.

Hiring by Design: Career Mastery in the Age of AI gives students a practical framework for understanding how hiring works today — and how to compete with clarity, confidence, and evidence of value.

Designed to scale from a 25-student workshop to institution-wide initiatives serving hundreds or thousands of learners.

What is Hiring by Design?

A career-readiness guide built around the realities of modern hiring.

The book helps students move beyond generic job-search advice by showing them how Applicant Tracking Systems, AI-supported recruiting, digital professional presence, interviews, human skills, offer evaluation, and long-term career management connect across the hiring journey.

The Student Problem

Students may know they need a résumé and interview practice, but many do not understand the systems, signals, and decisions that shape today's hiring process.

The Career Services Opportunity

Use one resource to reinforce multiple career-readiness conversations — from job-search materials and digital presence to interviewing and career decision-making.

The Outcome

Students learn to approach the job search as an intentional career process: understand the environment, present evidence of value, and make informed career moves.

What will students learn?

Practical skills for before, during, and after the hiring process.
