Description:

Finding a job has never been more automated or more frustrating. Candidates feel ignored. Employers feel overwhelmed. Trust in the hiring process is breaking down.

On this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw sits down with futurist Cliff Jurkiewicz of Phenom to unpack what is really broken in the 2026 job market. Is the problem the economy, or the way companies hire?

They dig into AI-driven hiring tools, resume filtering, ghosting, unrealistic job requirements, flawed job descriptions, and why many companies are using AI incorrectly. The conversation also explores how candidates can adapt, how recruiters should rethink hiring, and what “human plus AI” work really looks like going forward.

If you’re hiring, job hunting, or just trying to understand where work is headed next, this episode breaks down what needs to change before the system breaks even further.
