AI is writing 90% of the code for companies like OpenAI and Anthropic (and Wellfound.) So why are they still aggressively hiring people? If these tools work so well internally, why aren’t they done with hiring? My thoughts: - The last 10% of software still needs human guidance…
Startup hiring managers are drowning in inbound, AI-generated resumes and cover letters. As Gergely notes, many companies have simply given up on applications and instead have started actively sourcing candidates. On the recruiting side, like Gergely notes, it’s AI-native…
Over the past month, we’ve rolled out AI interviews for every candidate on the Wellfound platform. I’m now convinced every candidate should use it. First, the numbers: - 7% of US companies and 13% of international companies are using them - We’re seeing a 20%-30% higher…
The year is 2030. There are two jobs. Plumber, and giving feedback to train AI. Executives from OpenAI and Anthropic seem to be hinting at this, at least. We’re seeing “RL gyms” popping up at every major lab. The idea is simple: record white-collar professionals as they do…
I guarantee you, great hiring managers will see through the AI slop if you’re using AI slop on your application. Use AI to target your outreach, create incredible side projects, or learn new skills. Don’t use AI to create high-volume slop like this. Even if you’re casting a…
“Your life is your fault.” It’s blunt, and it might not resonate with a lot of people. But for the RIGHT candidate - the candidate who takes ownership, and loves a company with the right culture - it just might. @shensi_ at @merge_api gets this, and I wish more founders would…
Microsoft's actual email to all employees after the new H-1B restrictions were announced last week. A tough market for candidates gets even tougher. Even now, details are still finalizing. But as soon as I saw this, my first thoughts were - Woah - This sucks for startups. Big…
maybe a hot take? but I think if a founder starts a company fresh out of school and it doesn't work out that they should go work at a Series A+ company for 1-2 years to see what good looks like & built a network (that they can eventually hire out of) vs immediately starting a…
New grads, I have an easier way for you to get a job, but you’re not going to like it. If you’re willing to work in the office, you’ll probably get more job offers, and a higher response rate. 3 years ago, @Microsoft resisted RTO as their competitors embraced it. And now,…
I co-wrote another essay with Charlie Songhurst: "Mispriced Talent" Founders think they can find mispriced talent. It’s important to be aware of how you’re finding mispriced talent so that you don’t deceive yourself. There are two main ways to beat the market. 1) Pay in…
Recruiting agencies typically charge $40,000+ to find a great startup hire. With humans + AI, we’ve managed to bring that cost down by 60%. It’s called Autopilot, and it uses AI to automate large parts of the workflow, while filling in the rest with expert human oversight. This…
Bumble Inc. is launching an AI-powered matchmaking app. But do me a favor, and re-read this announcement. You could just swap a few words, and it would sound exactly like a recruiting startup. - “Creates a profile for you” - “You tell the AI what you want” - “It goes out into…
OpenAI just launched a jobs platform. I finally get to answer the question “What happens if OpenAI comes for your business?” So first, to answer the question of “Why do this?” it depends on how serious they actually are. - This just be something for the White House. They…
“Where is the valet? I couldn’t find him out front and I’m late to a meeting”
A boring press release with huge implications for recruiting. Workday acquiring Paradox might sound like another big tech acquisition. But Paradox indexed pretty far into AI for a specific part of recruiting - candidate messaging - that signals a lot of Workday’s intentions.…
I don't think this is actually a real offer. But if it is… 1. You WILL worry about dilution 2. The opportunity cost of joining a startup is high, and you can never get that time back 3. Base $60k in SF is criminal Anyone else?
I’ve seen some wild things in hiring. Now, with the market so employer-focused, I’m seeing something different. If a founder is hiring, and doesn’t want to get an avalanche of resumes, they’ll just…never post the job. No LinkedIn post, no Wellfound link, nothing. Companies…
Under-discussed point in hiring: big teams are not a badge of honor anymore. Why? As with most things in hiring, it’s coming back to AI. Startup founders, boards, leaders…they’re all very mimetic. And the current meta is asking every founder “Why are you growing your team?”…
