Executive Coaching in the AI EraEp. 7: Nobody's Hiring. Everyone's Hiring. Here's WhyIn this week's episode, I'm digging into the strange contradiction happening in hiring right now: mass layoffs and skyrocketing unemployment on one side, desperate talent shortages in tech and healthcare on the other. I'm talking through the rise of "AI cheating" in interviews (and why it's not the red flag you think it is), the real reasons leaders are defaulting to contractors over full-time hires, and what to watch out for before you make that call. I'm also sharing what to do when you're stuck in a hiring freeze but still need to build influence and prepare your team for growth. If you're building a team in this AI-era chaos — or you're the one job hunting in it — this episode gives you the clarity and strategy to move forward with confidence.Before you go — if you haven't subscribed to this podcast yet, do it now.
