From The Manhooei Method by Saeid Manhooei

About this episode
This episode explores the evolution of the hiring process and the factors contributing to recruitment fraud.
Hiring didn’t break overnight. It slowly turned into an arms race. In this episode, we unpack how optimization, AI tools, and hiring pressure changed the way resumes and interviews are interpreted, and why trust has eroded on both sides of the process. This is about understanding the system, not blaming people.
