Hiring or Hoping? Why "Post and Pray" Recruiting Doesn’t Work

Image
Turns out, crossing your fingers isn’t a hiring strategy after all. CareerBuilder and Monster’s Bankruptcy: A Sign of What’s Broken in Recruiting Remember when posting an ad on job boards like Monster or CareerBuilder felt like opening the floodgates to a sea of eager candidates? Fast forward to 2025, and those floods have washed away some of the very platforms that built them. The Chapter 11 filing of these job board titans —less than a year after their merger into CareerBuilder + Monster—is proof that the old “post and pray” approach to hiring is officially past its expiration date. What happened? Once giants of online recruiting, Monster and CareerBuilder failed to keep pace with a rapidly changing market. Competition from more innovative platforms, the rise of AI-driven application tools, and a shift in job seeker behavior all chipped away at their dominance. But their bankruptcy isn’t just a story about yet another corporate failure—it’s a warning for anyone still relying on o...

What Is Vibe Coding and Why Should Hiring Managers Care?

Image
Once upon a time, you had to know how to code to, well… code. Then came AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude, and now developers are building apps by talking to machines like they’re ordering coffee. Even someone with zero coding experience can pull up one of these tools and say, “Build me a simple login page,” or “Help me create an app,” and the AI gets to work. No manual coding. No file trees. Just a good prompt and a large language model (LLM) that fills in the blanks. This is vibe coding in action—and no, it’s not just another trendy tech term. Coined by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy in early 2025, vibe coding describes a new way of working with AI where developers (and sometimes non-developers) describe what they want, and the AI generates the code. While the term is new, AI-assisted code generation has been steadily advancing since the release of early tools like GitHub Copilot in 2021 and ChatGPT in 2022. It has the potential to change how softw...
