Nearly anyone looking for a job today can tell you that sifting through online job postings is a nightmare. When Natasha Badger, 25, was last on the job market, she tried a different strategy on LinkedIn and landed final-round interviews with three companies in the span of weeks. Badger, a digital marketer and career-content creator, quit her job with LinkedIn in September 2022 and went the typical route of applying to new ones on online job boards. Badger tried this with three companies — a big financial institution, an agency and a startup — and made it into the hiring process every time. "It really was so effective," Badger says of the LinkedIn strategy, "and I was like, 'How is this not something people are doing?'"

☆ How AI is closing talent gaps by focusing on skills
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-15 | by ( Sponsor Post | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

There's good reason to adopt a skills-first strategy: Hiring managers who practice skills-first hiring find it twice as easy to find qualified candidates than hiring managers who do not. But the advancement of generative AI has the potential to change that. To use AI effectively for skills-first hiring, talent professionals must understand how models have been developed and trained and audit and monitor those models for bias. Indeed's Smart Sourcing generative AI provides an explanation of the candidate's potential overlapping qualifications with the employer's job description. As crucial as AI will be to skills-first hiring, talent acquisition, and management always starts and end with humans.

☆ AI isn't likely to replace humans at work, says report—but 5 occupations may soon feel its impact more

Artificial intelligence is already changing the way some people work, but it's not yet poised to replace the work that humans do, according to a new report from Indeed. A 68.7% majority of skills were "very unlikely" or "unlikely" to be replaced by AI, while 28.5% of skills may "potentially" be replaceable. Indeed's report examined soft skills like communication, leadership and organization, more technical skills including specific coding languages, and hands-on skills such as cooking and administering medication. Still, workers shouldn't shy away from certain career paths that are more susceptible to being replaced by AI, according to Gudell. "It's really all about using these tools to your maximum advantage when you're searching for a job," Gudell says.

Job seekers sometimes use AI to cheat in interviews, which highlights flaws in the hiring process. It can feel like there are endless ways to dupe a hiring manager in a job interview — especially one that doesn't involve meeting IRL. It all points to a hiring process that can be terrible for job seekers — and for employers. Is using AI during a job interview cheating?

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris face off in the ABC presidential debate on Sept. 10, 2024. The previous Trump administration didn't pursue those types of consumer protections. In contrast, Democrats, including Harris, have historically supported EVs and incentives such as those under the Biden administration's signature Inflation Reduction Act. Meanwhile, Harris, if elected, can build on existing efforts of the Biden administration to deliver savings to more patients, they said. Trump also led multiple efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, including its expansion of Medicaid to low-income adults.
