Things Are so Bad, You Have to Pay to Get a Job Now (Video)
In this 12 February 2026 video, host Michael Bordenaro talks about how the job market in early 2026 is characterized by intense competition, widespread automation, and a reversal of traditional recruiting models, with reports indicating that some job seekers are paying to get recruited. As white-collar job searches become increasingly difficult due to hiring freezes, AI filtering, and high applicant volume, some candidates are resorting to paying career coaches or specialized recruiters to gain access to limited positions.
With hundreds of applicants for a single role, some job seekers are paying for services that promise to match them with positions or navigate the “hidden” job market. Companies are using AI for hiring, reducing the need for human recruiters and filtering out candidates who do not have perfect keyword matches, making it harder to get interviews. Major companies are maintaining flat hiring, with many focusing on “job hugging” (retaining current staff) and efficiency, resulting in a 4-year high in unemployment (4.6 percent in late 2025/early 2026).
Job seekers, particularly in younger, female demographics, are increasingly “lowballing” their own salary expectations—offering to work for less than the posted rate—in a desperate attempt to get hired. Additionally, many advertised positions are not actually open, but are rather used by vompies to build talent pipelines or give the impression of growth, making the search more disheartening.
