LinkedIn is going crazy with their whole AI game. I think their intentions are good, but I’m not sure they’ve thought through the end-game: how it impacts the hiring process and hiring managers.
What happens when everyone has the same resume? What happens when everyone is the perfect candidate (at least on paper)?

I’ve been mucking about in LinkedIn, playing with all the A I tools they have.
00:06
That little star seems to show up just about everywhere, and so I’m playing around with the resume stuff and it seems like pretty cool ideas at first, right?
00:18
You can figure out how good of a match you are for a job, for example.
00:25
I feel like there is a shadow lurking here though, and I’m curious if people have thought about it.
00:31
Maybe I’m thinking about it wrong, but it seems like so you you put up your resume and it will tell you where the gaps are and then it will give suggestions if not actually do the writing for you, but to change like what you need to change, what you need to add.
00:47
And so I worry that people cause everybody wants the interview.
00:53
People want to have the best candidacy possible.
00:56
So what are they going to do?
00:57
They’re going to find a way to put things in their resume that may or may not be true, right?
01:04
Who’s going to really, when they get advice that they have gaps and they need to fill them, who’s going to walk away from that?
01:13
So I’m just sort of worrying that this is becoming a matchy, matchy game.
01:20
And not so much.
01:21
Hey, this is who I am.
01:24
Why don’t you look at that and figure out if I’d be a good fit?
01:28
It’s kind of more about did I check every box?
01:32
Do I have every keyword?
01:35
And I’m really curious to hear from people who have been hiring, from recruiters, from the people with the jobs.
01:41
Are you seeing a disconnect between what you get on a LinkedIn profile or a resume and what happens?
01:49
In the interview, cause I feel like that area is widening a bit.
01:55
And again, I don’t know, I’m not hiring on mass, so perhaps it’s not an issue.
02:03
I’m seeing like it might be.
02:05
Let me know what you’re thinking.
