HR, Recruiting, and Workforce Business Ideas

You can keep claiming that as if it is true and that AI wasn't seen by delusional, hoodwinked executives as a miracle technology to reduce headcount and its associated variable costs, but I can see how much "should" is doing for your perspective.

In some cases, yeah. But they had stolen identities, real identities, applied for jobs. I'm sure AI was used to help make the perfect resume. Oh, sure, yeah. I mean, I've seen some of them. They look great. Of course you're going to, like, pull them out for an interview. Look at resumes on LinkedIn right now, and 90% of them are AI generated. In fact, LinkedIn advertises the service. If you're not using AI, like, you've got to be able to use. But anyway, so then, of course, AI is used to do deepfake interviews, or even if it's a real person, they're still using AI to translate or to come up with answers to questions. You can see their eyes reading things off the screen.

I think job seekers spend too much time improving their resumes and not enough time improving their targeting. I see this pattern constantly and I used to do it too.

If you've done a bit of everything, you can't be everything to everyone. Here's the thing people miss: companies are not hiring "a good marketing person." They are hiring someone to fix a very specific headache. Like: We need someone who can fix our B2B SaaS demand gen because our pipeline is dead. We need someone to own lifecycle and stop churn. We need someone who can actually make paid acquisition profitable. We need someone to clean up our CRM. The more specific their headache is, the easier your job is. If you match that headache, you win. If you are just "good at marketing" in general, you lose to someone who looks like they were made for that one problem. **2. Read the job description BEFORE you even open your resume.** And don't read it like a desperate candidate scanning for keywords. Read it like a marketer trying to figure out what they are actually struggling with. Ask yourself: What problem are they actually trying to solve here?
