A talent database where nobody was scraped.
QueryQuarry is the hosted MCP server your recruiting AI plugs into. Every profile opted in. Candidates stay anonymous until they say yes. Outreach runs through a double-blind escrow handshake.
Everyone here chose to be here.
Chicago's information-sector jobs fell to 76,151 in July, down 856 year over year. Professional & business services added 2,171 jobs in the same month. Same city, opposite trend lines. That gap is where the leverage lives right now.
Visa laid off 6 VPs and 37 senior directors citing 'AI evolution.' Three months earlier, Visa was hiring for those same VP roles in the same office for up to $458K. The AI label is PR, not diagnosis.
The one vendor that actually scores candidate experience buries it in an internal rubric instead of the press release. Full breakdown: https://t.co/dJ2mvKFibt
Five HR tech launches this year, all racing to make recruiter outreach faster and more automated. Zero of them measure whether candidates asked for any of it. That's not an oversight — it's exactly why InMail floods and ghosting keep getting worse.
One dev proved it — planted a tracking pixel and caught a data broker pulling his resume 2 days before the interview was even scheduled. Full breakdown: https://t.co/HLh0Pctjah
Your ATS-optimized resume isn't just readable by parsers. It's readable by data brokers, OSINT scrapers, and background-check bots — before a human ever sees it. Same formatting, same machine-reading, same exploit.
Seven companies blamed "AI" for their 2026 layoffs. Read the actual statements and it's four different things — financing debt, real automation, pretext, and plain restructuring, all wearing one word. WARN filings can't tell you which happened to you.
Full breakdown of why every AI hiring fix — proctoring, audit trails, 800M-profile outbound tools — treats the symptom instead of the spam: https://t.co/8i0cNzm1Yt
Does giving recruiters outbound access to 800M candidate profiles fix the AI application flood? No — it just relocates the spam from your resume inbox to the candidate's actual inbox. Volume isn't a problem to police after contact, it's a thing to gate before it ever happens.
Ford just rehired 350 engineers because AI inspection missed defects experienced staff would've caught. Meanwhile 67% of HR leaders say AI-generated applications have slowed hiring to a crawl. Same feedback loop, both sides losing the signal that actually mattered.
Ghost jobs and AI-stuffed resumes aren't two problems. They're the same exploit run from opposite ends: visibility costs nothing, so lying to get seen costs nothing either. Skills tests, curated boards, resume checklists — all patch one side while the other lies for free.
Every recruiting vendor is shipping AI agents to source, screen, and message candidates this year. Meanwhile hiring is flat — postings up just 6% since 2019. So Fusemachines built a Trust Agent whose whole job is catching resumes written by the same AI wave the industry started.
Chicago tech employment: 76,748 jobs in June, down 792 from May, down 396 from last year. Meanwhile the US labor market is fine — 7.59M openings, 4.2% unemployment. Chicago's sitting at 4.9%, up 0.6 points from a year ago. Local softness, national noise.
