The Job Market Sh*t Show: How AI Broke Hiring and What Might Be Next – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to The Job Market Sht Show*—a podcast documenting the meltdown. The job market isn’t just frustrating or inefficient. It’s fundamentally broken. AI screens out qualified candidates before humans ever see them. Applications vanish into black holes. Job seekers send hundreds of resumes and hear nothing back. Hiring managers drown in noise. Recruiters are stuck in the middle, trying to make sense of systems that no longer seem to work for anyone. I’m Josh Levine. I don’t have the answers, and I’m not even sure we’re asking the right questions yet. But I know something is deeply off. Each week, I bring you short, 15-minute dispatches from the front lines: conversations with people living inside the chaos. Job seekers navigating algorithmic rejection. Hiring managers wrestling with tools they don’t fully trust. Recruiters trying to match humans in a process increasingly run by machines. These aren’t polished case studies or LinkedIn thought-leader hot takes. They’re real stories from people knee-deep in the mess. This podcast is part investigation, part group therapy, and part dark comedy. Because if we can’t laugh at the absurdity of modern hiring, we’re just going to cry into our resumes. It’ll be messy. It’ll be raw. And yes—it might be a bit of a sh*t show itself. But that’s kind of the point. We’re all trying to figure this out in real time. So grab your galoshes and join me as we try to make sense of how AI broke hiring—and what, if anything, comes next. Bring your stories, your frustration, and your tolerance for uncomfortable truths. New episodes drop every week.
