A technical recruiter with 15 years in enterprise tech just broke down on our call
Says she's placed 8,400 engineers across her career. Built relationships with hiring managers at every major platform, fintech, and SaaS outfit on the West Coast
This quarter she's gotten 14 job orders. Fourteen. For the entire Bay Area
Average applications per senior role: 3,847 candidates
Average applications per junior role: 8,200+ before the posting gets pulled
Companies aren't even pretending anymore. One hiring manager told her straight: "We're only posting compliance roles. Legal says we have to show we tried hiring humans before we automate"
Another client just implemented a policy: no human hires without board approval. The board meets quarterly
She watched a Series B startup pull a $180k ML engineer posting after 48 hours. 6,100 applications. They hired nobody
Same company announced their new AI agent completed the project in 6 weeks. Cost them $4,000 in compute credits
Her biggest client just banned junior engineers entirely. "Too much AI babysitting required"
The applications keep flooding in while the jobs disappear faster than she can track them
She used to pride herself on 89% placement rates
This year it's 0.2%
She's watching an entire generation of engineers get systematically replaced by systems that cost less than their weekly coffee budget
And the executives ordering the replacements are making more money than they've ever made in their lives
@Dadbod_Games@3dBabyloncom Feel free to let us know, if you need anything specific. Perhaps we would be able to help. Now there will be more 'generic' props + something we made already it needs packing and testing. Later on some bigger packs are scheduled (themed) as we passed single props phase already
@Dadbod_Games@3dBabyloncom Initially we started out of necessity and with assets we needed for our internal projects. Noticed lots of 'different' hand assets, looking good outside but not meeting expectations
@Dadbod_Games@3dBabyloncom Yeah, that’s exactly the gap we’re trying to focus on. We’re mainly building game-ready props and environment assets- office, interior and themed models that feel useful in actual scenes, but with a bit more personality than the usual generic filler. The goal is clean, optimised
@Dawid_Palka_ Pytanie jest, dlaczego wszyscy medrcy biznesu tworzacy lukratywne biznesy wynikajace z wlasnych przemyslen - powielaja wiedze z od dawna znanych zrodel i spedzaja wiekszosc czasu na produkcji video na YT tudziez twittera. Skoro te biznesy sa udane. Nie szkoda im czasu?
