Employers receive hundreds or thousands of applications, many of them AI-generated.
Job seekers individually apply to 300+ jobs and rarely hear back from a real person.
Recruiters are overwhelmed, under-resourced, and increasingly reliant on automated screening tools.
The result?
A broken employment marketplace, flooded with noise – and stripped of trust, fairness, and human connection.
For overwhelmed recruiters, employers who still believe in humanity, and job seekers who just want to be seen…
