Taylor Desseyn explains why startups struggle to hire through online job listings, which get flooded with AI-generated applications. Instead, attend conferences to meet candidates in person and conduct informal interviews.

If your startup is looking for growth, that's pretty easy. I'm going to go and recruit. Have you tried recruiting recently? I have not, but I have talked to people who have and they're like, yeah, I listed a job offering and I had 10,000 applications and over half of them are AI generated. How about you go to a conference instead? You meet some real people and you have like real conversations. You basically do the interview with the couple hundred people that are there at the conference. That to me is a really, really great way to sell your attendance to a conference.
