  • How to stand out in a sea of AI-generated resumes

    How to stand out in a sea of AI-generated resumes
    2026/02/03
    The application crisis is here. Applications are up 45% due to AI agents that send 50 resumes daily. Learn the five ways employers fight back. This episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast reveals what job seekers need to know about how employers are moving away from reactively trying to spot spam and moving toward proactive prevention methods designed to stop generic, low-interest resumes from entering the applicant tracking system. AI-driven software agents, which submit generic resumes showing little regard for a candidate’s qualification, fit, or genuine interest, are leading to significant consequences for companies, including extended hiring times, recruiter stress, and poor hiring quality, with 62% of companies already firing new hires because their skills didn’t match their AI-inflated resumes. Employers are adopting five key defensive strategies to combat this high volume. Candidates should prepare for the "pay to apply" model, which 20% of employers are considering, involving a small fee usually between $10 and $25, which acts as a barrier because AI agents cannot make payments. Other strategies include limiting applications per candidate per month, often with a penalty for violation, and requiring applicants to complete the familiar "I am not a robot" verification features. Crucially, companies are prioritizing employee referrals, which represent measurably superior candidates with the highest probability of being interviewed and hired, and they are avoiding job boards that offer one-click "easy apply" features. For students and recent graduates, the path to a great career involves prioritizing targeted applications and networking over relying on the quick, high-volume methods that employers are actively trying to eliminate.

  • Job scams on trusted job boards like LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and Indeed

    Job scams on trusted job boards like LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and Indeed
    2026/01/27
    Job scams are sophisticated and rising 19%, costing Americans $300M. Learn to spot fakes on LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, and other trust job search sites. The current labor market, marked by high long-term unemployment and intense competition, is exploited by increasingly innovative scammers who post jobs nearly indistinguishable from legitimate listings, even on highly trusted platforms. These complex schemes prey on job seekers' desperation and fear, aiming to lure them into handing over sensitive data like Social Security numbers or bank account details, or to install malicious software via deceptive links. On this episode of the From Dorms to Desk Podcast, we discuss how online job scams have risen significantly, costing Americans nearly $300 million this year, with a typical victim losing around $2,000. The vulnerability is high because the data contained in a résumé or provided during an interview is highly valuable and can be monetized over time. We share real-life stories, including how tech-savvy individuals were fooled until they noticed subtle red flags, such as slightly incorrect email domain names or bizarre recruiter behavior, and discuss associated financial traps like the fraudulent check scam for remote equipment purchases. To combat this threat, job seekers must remain extremely vigilant and look for warnings like alleged recruiters with little activity, immediate pressure to move conversations to third-party platforms like WhatsApp, or requests for personal information early in the process. College Recruiter enhances candidate security by requiring all job postings to be paid for by the employer, creating a financial barrier that deters fake employers who tend to gravitate to sites that don't require payment, a crucial step likened to locking your front door.
