Is the job market actually “cooked” — or are we looking at it the wrong way?
Job seekers are applying to hundreds — sometimes thousands — of jobs.
Employers are overwhelmed by applications.
AI is automating resumes, applications, matching and even interviews.
And somehow, we're still struggling to get one thing:
A real conversation with someone who can actually hire us.
In this week's Sunday Night Live, Marc-Anthony Jackson, Talent and Client Coordinator at Guhuza, sits down with Iain Mcloughlin, Lead Tester and Administrative Assistant at Guhuza, to break down what's really happening in today's job market.
We talk about:
• Why applying to 500 or 1,000 jobs may not be the answer
• Ghost jobs and endless applications
• Whether AI interviews are actually progress
• Why candidates are becoming desperate just to get access to employers
• What Canada's latest job numbers really mean
• Why there isn't one single “job market”
• Why networking and real conversations still matter
• Why hiring technology should focus on faster conversations — not just faster applications
The big question:
Have we spent too much time making applications faster instead of making hiring conversations faster?
At Guhuza, we believe the future of hiring shouldn't just be faster applications.
It should be faster conversations.
Watch Sunday Night Live and tell us what you think:
Is the job market actually cooked — or is the way we search for work what needs to change?
