Outsmarting the Algorithm: BOA Founder, Christal Agostino to Guest-Host Concordia University’s Women Who LEAD Webinar
Christal Agostino, Founder of BOA and guest host at Concordia University’s Women Who LEAD webinar “Outsmarting the Algorithm.”
Date: November 19, 2025
Host: Concordia University — Women Who LEAD
Speaker: Christal Agostino, Founder of BOA
How AI Is Rewriting Executive Search
The rules of visibility have changed. Artificial intelligence now sits at the center of the hiring process: shortlisting, ranking, and filtering candidates before a human recruiter ever reads a résumé.
LinkedIn’s Hiring Assistant—an AI recruiter tool launched globally in September 2025—has become the silent gatekeeper of executive discovery. For most professionals, this algorithmic shift is invisible. For those who understand it, it’s the new arena of power.
On November 19, 2025, Concordia University’s Women Who LEAD network will host “Outsmarting the Algorithm: How AI is Rewriting Executive Search—and What You Can Do About It”, led by Christal Agostino (BComm ’08), Founder of BOA, the first Talent Representation and Media House for executive women.

What the Session Covers
During the session, Christal will unpack the new mechanics of digital discovery—how algorithms and AI-driven tools decide who gets seen, contacted, or overlooked—and share the frameworks that BOA uses to make executives visible in the age of machine-led search.
Key takeaways include:
How AI-driven hiring systems actually “see” candidates—and how to ensure your executive profile appears in those searches.
The architecture of an AI-optimized executive profile, including strategic keywords, metadata, and credibility signals that trigger algorithmic recognition.
How to balance algorithmic visibility with authentic authority—so your influence resonates with both AI systems and human decision-makers.
How these tactics support not just career transitions, but board, advisor, and C-suite positioning.
Why It Matters
For executives and emerging board candidates, visibility is no longer about who you know—it’s about how you’re found. Understanding how AI reads and ranks professional credibility is becoming a core leadership skill.
This session bridges technology, communication, and representation—the core of BOA’s mission: helping women move like brands and operate like boards.
