AI ruined the job market, so people are using dating apps to find work.
00:05
In today's job market, submitting a resume can feel like tossing a message into a digital void
00:09
where it's instantly judged and often rejected by an algorithm that doesn't care about your personality, potential, or rent.
00:16
With AI-powered hiring tools acting as bouncers at the club of employment, job seekers are getting creative.
00:22
According to a new survey from ResumeBuilder.com, one in three people has used a dating app to help find a job.
00:29
Nearly one in ten said that was their main reason for being there.
00:32
Referrals? Mandatory.
00:34
66% of respondents said they searched for people working at companies they wanted to join,
00:39
while 75% intentionally matched with users in roles they hoped to land themselves.
00:44
As ResumeBuilder's chief career advisor, Stacey Haller, put it,
00:47
Networking is the only way people are rising above the horror show that the job search is today.
00:53
88% of job-focused daters said they successfully made professional connections,
00:58
That often meant advice, mentorship, referrals, or interviews, but 37% went all the way and got a job offer.
01:06
In a truly modern twist, 38% also said the professional connection became physical.
01:12
The rise of AI in hiring is a big reason for this behavior.
01:16
Companies rely on automated resume scanners to handle floods of applications driven by mass supply culture on platforms like LinkedIn.
01:24
These systems are fast and cheap, but also notorious for bias and false negatives.
01:29
That's where referrals come in, often the only reliable way to bypass the algorithm.
01:34
But networking favors people who already have connections, reinforcing inequality,
01:38
a trend noted by Cornell professor John McCarthy of Cornell University.
01:43
For those without built-in networks, dating apps are becoming the workaround.
01:45
While Tinder and Bumble are the most commonly used, some platforms lean into the crossover.
01:51
Raya lets users search by industry,
01:54
and Grindr reports that roughly a quarter of its users network professionally.
01:58
Love may be dead, but apparently job leads are thriving.
