What if your dream job slipped away before a human ever saw your résumé? In this thought-provoking episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we explore how artificial intelligence has become the invisible "brick wall" between employers and job seekers — and what that means for your career, creativity, and mental wellbeing.

The hiring process has changed dramatically. Most companies now rely on AI to scan résumés, filter candidates, and decide who gets an interview. But what happens when algorithms start rejecting great people for the wrong reasons? We break down the hidden biases, the loss of human touch, and the psychological toll of endless silence after "submitting your application."

Here's what you'll hear about:

• How AI résumé scanners are quietly shaping the future of hiring

• Why "keyword optimization" might be costing you opportunities

• The emotional side of AI-driven rejection and the rise of learned helplessness

• The hidden cost to creativity and diversity when pattern-matching replaces intuition

• Why networking and referrals are becoming the new "bypass" to beat the bots

• The deeper philosophical question: What are we really optimizing for—speed or humanity?

This episode isn't anti-technology—it's a wake-up call. As we rush toward AI-powered efficiency, are we losing the empathy that makes hiring (and working) human?

Tune in to learn how you can stay authentic in a world that's training people to write like robots just to impress robots.
