The current hiring situation is so broken. Because of AI and automation.

One developer job on LinkedIn - 1100 applicants, 1000+ don’t even live in the right region, so clearly it’s automated and they’re not reading even basic requirements.

Next time - video interviews all the way through. Any hint of AI in the interview process, they’re done. If a different person shows up for the first day of the job, they’re done.



LinkedIn? Anyone who has a LinkedIn profile is automatically rejected. Signals low quality.
