AI Is Killing Recruitment: Why the Job Market Is Drowning in White Noise

Here’s what we’re seeing every day with Australia’s +45 tech job seekers and contractors:
AI hasn’t improved recruitment - it’s overwhelmed it, killing it.
AI resumes starting to look identical and lack authenticity.
AI tools now mass-apply to hundreds of roles a day.
Candidates use AI interview autopilot.
Employers use AI bots to screen people.
Recruiters drown in volume, tighten filters and trust less.
We’ve created a job market where robots talk to robots while real humans get lost in the noise.
White noise.
And job seekers?
They’re isolated. No playbook. No feedback.
So they reach for the promises of AI because the system gives them nothing else.
AI didn’t break job search - it amplified everything that was already broken.
So what’s the solution?
Go where AI can’t compete. Be human. Be authentic.
Get visible. Reach out. Leverage. Hustle. Show up.
You must talk directly to the people who matter:
the hiring managers and the recruiters.
They make the decisions.
They decide the shortlists.
And you can influence them in ways your resume can't.
Your network and your visibility are your greatest assets.
Because here’s the truth:
Activity builds momentum.
Momentum creates opportunities.
Your hustle makes it all happen -
and it beats AI every time.
Warm intros.
Genuine conversations.
Relationship-building.
Being visible.
Being memorable.
Being human.
Your resume doesn’t speak for itself in a queue 600 long.
But you can - and that’s the edge AI will never replace.
