Job seekers and hiring managers are facing challenges in a tight job market. Many job applicants struggle to receive responses to online applications due to an overwhelming number of applicants, many of which are AI-optimized. In light of this, some job seekers, like Tyler Sorenson, have reverted to traditional methods, such as delivering paper résumés directly to potential employers. This approach aligns with a growing emphasis on personal interaction that contrasts with the impersonal nature of digital recruiting processes.
Tyler Sorenson, feeling frustrated in his job search, found success by dropping off a paper résumé at a local tech repair company, a method that went against the digital trend.
In a difficult job market, both job seekers and hiring managers are experiencing challenges, leading to innovative approaches such as paper résumés and direct walk-in applications.

The exhaustion experienced by both job seekers and hiring managers is prompting a return to more personal connection methods in recruitment, including flying candidates out.
