Glassdoor President: AI Worsens Broken Hiring Process, Needs Better Candidate-Role Matching

Glassdoor President, Hisayuki “Deko” Idekoba, argues that the current job search process is fundamentally broken, exacerbated by AI's role in simply increasing application volume rather than improving match quality. He highlights that while Glassdoor initially addressed workplace transparency, the deeper issue lies in matching individuals to roles where they are likely to thrive, not just qualify. Idekoba points to declining worker confidence and a hiring process where most successful job changes occur without recruiter outreach, suggesting a need for better tools to ensure a proper fit between candidates and employers. AI

IMPACT Suggests AI is currently exacerbating inefficiencies in the hiring process, rather than solving them, by increasing application volume without improving candidate-role matching.

    Glassdoor President: finding the right job shouldn’t feel like winning the lottery

    Nobody designed a process this broken on purpose. The assumption that more is better—apply to more jobs and the odds improve—is laughable in the AI age.
