My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
The job application process will become an AI arms race between applicant automation and company filtering systems
The Reasoning
As AI Apply enables automated applications to thousands of jobs, companies will develop AI systems to filter out automated applications, creating cyclical technological competition
What Needs to Be True
- Job market remains competitive for applicants
- Companies can't manually process high application volumes
- AI detection technology develops alongside application AI
- Legal frameworks don't prohibit either practice
Counterargument
Companies might embrace AI applications as a signal of tech-savviness, or the job market might improve reducing need for mass applications
What Would Change This View
Regulation prohibiting automated job applications, or job market improvement making mass applications unnecessary
Implications for Builders
Build AI detection tools for HR departments
Create more sophisticated application personalization
Develop alternative hiring methodologies
Focus on skills-based rather than resume-based hiring
Example Application
“Company like AI Apply simultaneously offering application automation and detection services to both sides of the hiring process”
