Artificial intelligence has already turned the job market into a slop fest—AI-generated resumes and cover letters getting reviewed by AI screeners who make decisions before a real person even has a chance. A startup called Refer is offering to put AI on your side—assuming you’re willing to give up some of your salary for it. The company is called Refer, and according to Business Insider, it’s something like a reverse recruiter for workers. That means instead of headhunting job applicants on behalf of a company that’s looking to fill a role, it represents the job seeker and introduces them to roles where they might be a good fit. Oh, and the person looking for the job pays instead of the company. Finally, someone willing to put the financial burden of finding employment on the job seeker! Oh, also, unlike when a company hires a recruiter, you, as the person in search of employment, won’t get a real person who helps you navigate the job market. Instead, you get an AI agent named Lia. You tell Lia about your experience, what you’re looking for in terms of a role and company, your desired salary, and other details. Then the agent finds potential matches. If you like one, Lia drafts up an introductory email and sends it to the hiring manager.
