They’re going old school.
Job seekers are getting creative, with some finding success going back to basics: handing in a paper résumé in person.
Businesses are adapting, too. With AI tools now helping with résumés, cover letters, and even live interviews, measuring a candidate’s suitability for a role can be challenging.
Is this the person we want to hire — or just the AI that coached them?
Victoria Thomas, the chief business officer of a Porsche customization and racing company, said AI-crafted résumés can make candidates seem more qualified than they really are. To combat this, her team flies candidates to their Wisconsin office for in-person interviews and tryouts.

1. Meet the 16-year-old prodigy at Citadel Securities. Kairan Quazi, a quant developer at the New York trading giant, caught the world’s attention when he landed a job at SpaceX at age 14. He told BI why he switched from Big Tech to quant finance.
2. What makes (and breaks) a day trader? Andrew Menaker, a psychologist who coaches traders on and off Wall Street, has an answer. He said ego and aggression are traits that lead traders astray, and shared tips for those trying to get in on the trade.
3. Where to invest if the market goes south. If you’re holding cash right now, it’s a good idea to have a strategy for buying the dip in case a bear market hits. Two rules of thumb: Don’t enter the market all at once, and don’t panic. Here’s where experts suggest investing.
1. In Silicon Valley, the ladies want a tech nerd. Professional matchmakers in the Bay Area — whose fees range from $5,900 to $500,000 — told BI more women are looking for AI engineers, thanks to their high salaries and job stability. It’s not clear how long interest will last, but for now, the AI boom is making nerds sexy.
2. The startup turning Elon Musk’s DOGE-fueled chaos into cash. Legalist, a startup founded by one of Peter Thiel’s fellows, provides gap financing for vendors awaiting payouts from the federal government. Here’s how they cashed in on the havoc DOGE wrecked.
3. How these Gen Zers beat the odds to score roles in tech. The industry is hemorrhaging entry-level jobs thanks to AI and corporate cost-cutting. Young workers told BI how they scored roles after casting a wide net or networking around the clock.
1. Millennial brands hit middle age. Glossier is at Sephora. Mideas are having holes drilled in them. What once seemed like an industry adjustment toward direct, values-centered relationships with consumers has been exposed as a marketing ploy — and today, these brands are either dying or becoming boring companies, BI’s Juliana Kaplan writes.
2. Spotify’s ad business is laggy. Advertising made up 11% of its business in June, a far cry from its 20% target. “We have simply been moving too slowly,” CEO Daniel Ek said on the company’s latest earnings call. Industry insiders said poor customer service and low podcast ad rates were also factors.
