Does anyone here work in a SHREK firm’s Technology officer practice

The only thing I care about is not being a slave to a job. Chasing a leadership title, more money, etc. I have done that and it’s miserable. I’m fine with earning around $100K for the FAR foreseeable future.

What AI tools are you using in recruiting ?

The number of applications that are 0% matches in relevancy to the job these days are insane.
I love an easy apply for candidates/myself when applying but the abuse that button takes is absurd.
