Talent Ascension Group Founder/CEO Mitch McDermott sees the current recruiting process as broken, and both sides are to blame. AI tools are fast, but real results are slow. "Hiring has always, and will always be deeply human. Yes AI is efficient, but there's no efficiency in getting the outcome you're looking for." Sadly, mass applications are an epidemic and continue to get poor results. Treating your job search like a sales process is a start, making cold outreach and building relationships with actual hiring managers a priority. If you're hiring, interview the person, not the resume. At the end of the day, being authentic and creating human connection is still a recipe for success.
