Uh Oh

By 2026, one in three companies expects AI to run their entire hiring process. 

So what does that mean?

It means resumes will be judged by patterns, not potential. It means interviews will be scored by tone and keywords, not by chemistry, curiosity, adultiness, and grit.

And that’s generally bad.

It also probably means less nepotism, less “who you know” and more “what you bring.”

And that’s generally good.

Maybe the real opportunity in hiring and being hired isn’t to fight AI, but to raise the bar for being human.
