Another day, another AI tool that promises to change the world. But won’t.

It’s not a big leap to think we’re at the peak of the AI hype cycle. But in recruitment – a sector already trailing the technology curve – what if it actually makes things worse?

Who is going to train AI on a good interview process if there isn’t already a good interview process? What happens when an AI bot breaks down and no one knows how to fix it? And why would we think taking more human involvement out of an experience often lacking human touch will be a good thing?

James Hornick and Jeff Smith break down why we shouldn’t expect a recruiting cheat code in episode 92 of The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "Why AI Won’t Fix Hiring.”

It’s amazing how so many companies tout how they’re great places to work, then ghost you after an interview. I love irony.

Corporate arrogance and poor candidate experience seem to go hand-in-hand. They’re well-known issues. But no matter how much they're talked about, it seems like they only get worse over time. And it’s often ghosting victims (read: literally everyone) who perpetuate it when they’re in the hiring seat. Why is that?

James Hornick and Jeff Smith will break down the psychology of it in episode 91 of The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "Why Ghosting & Boasting Will Never Go Away”
