New feature: AI Interview Proxy

It joins your interviews, answers every question, and negotiates your salary.

For in-person interviews, we send someone on your behalf.

You just show up on day one.

1 in 5 tech layoffs so far in 2026 have been explicitly tied to AI by the companies doing the cutting. Of the 45,000+ tech job cuts tracked globally this year, over 9,000 cited AI or automation as the reason.

Only 42% of employers plan to screen GPAs when hiring 2026 grads. In 2019, it was 73%. (Source: NACE Job Outlook 2026)

This shows a shift towards skills based hiring.

1 in 5 tech layoffs so far in 2026 have been explicitly attributed to AI by the companies making the cuts.

9,238 of 45,363 global tech jobs eliminated this year were tied to AI restructuring, not financial pressure. Block cut 40% of its workforce. Pinterest cut 15%. Both cited AI.

The pivot is no longer hypothetical.

2026 tech layoffs so far:

40,000+ employees across 71 companies.

For context:
2025: 124,000+ across 271 companies
2024: 152,000+ across 551 companies
2023: 264,000+ across 1,193 companies

The pace is slowing but the jobs aren't coming back at the same rate.

@Adam_Karpiak Nobody knows how to answer "how's the search going" honestly. It's either you lie, overshare about 200 applications going nowhere, or just change the subject.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

Referrals work, but they also create a system where the best candidate loses to the best-connected one.

The real fix is on the employer side to stop posting roles publicly if you're only going to hire referrals.

For candidates: yes, network. But also tailor every application ruthlessly. A targeted CV can beat a generic referral in many cases.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@yacineMTB This is the actual way to use data for career decisions. Understanding where your skills intersect with market demand beats sending 50 generic applications and hoping one sticks.

The advantage isn't volume, it's alignment.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@riyazmd774 A big part of the problem is that people are juggling too many tools — CVs, job boards, notes — so everything ends up generic.

When your workflow is fragmented, your applications are too.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@Simon_Ingari This also helps when you’re tracking applications later. Knowing exactly which version of your CV you sent to which company saves a lot of confusion before interviews.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@careersherpa AI significantly speeds things up and can find the right roles, but the thinking still has to come from the candidate.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@BarefootStudent Which means every entry-level posting now gets flooded with applicants.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@OrevaZSN The hardest part is not knowing where you actually stand.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@BarefootStudent This makes the whole process feel pointless for job seekers.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@FirstSquawk This explains why so many job seekers feel like they're applying everywhere and hearing nothing back.

Many listings are either stale, already filled internally, or posted just to test the market.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@Pejuola_a Sometimes. But many people apply to roles where the match isn’t strong enough to begin with.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@BarefootStudent Entry level used to be where people learned. Now companies expect experience before they even hire.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@khushiirl We filter remote-only jobs, sort by the last 3 days so you're not competing with 2-week-old posts, and rank results against your CV to show what's worth applying to.

We also offer LaTeX CV tailoring, interview prep, and personalised job advice.

[Jobbital @jobbital]

@Pejuola_a And if the role matches your background even 60-70%, apply. The "must haves" are usually a wishlist.
