Episode #125 Episode 125: Hiring in the Age of AI

Episode 125: Hiring in the Age of AI — How to Find the Real Person Behind the Perfect Application The central question is: When everybody can submit a great application, how do you figure out who is actually great? With applicants now able to use ChatGPT to instantly create polished, customized responses, it’s becoming harder to tell who is actually qualified, genuinely interested, and paying attention to your job post. After receiving more than 30 applications in the first hour of a recent posting, we talk about how hiring has changed, the challenges of sorting through AI-generated responses, and some practical ways to weed out weak candidates, avoid wasting time, and find the people who are actually a good fit.
