I’m Matt, a writer and researcher focused on how hiring is evolving in the age of AI. I’ve been following trends in recruitment, automation, and remote work since 2018. When I’m not writing deep-dive articles for Jobicy, I’m testing AI tools to see how they impact candidates and hiring teams.

The nature of work has changed. The expectations of talent have changed. You can either change with it, or you can become a corporate fossil.

It turns out that when you let people work from a place they’re comfortable, in a community they love, they actually do better work. Shocking, I know.

The dreaded question—“What are your salary expectations?”—might finally die the unceremonious death it deserves. The future isn’t about hiding the numbers.

For most of us, we manage to cobble together a semi-coherent, pre-rehearsed spiel about our “journey” and how we’re “passionate about synergy.”

Every one of these jobs offers a kind of deal with the devil. A Faustian bargain. Give me your peace of mind, and I’ll give you financial security.

The survival strategy isn’t to learn to code faster than an AI (you won’t) or to write better than a machine (it’s debatable). The survival strategy is to become more human.

Are we on the cusp of a job creation boom not seen since the dawn of the internet itself, or is this just the most elaborate, technically sophisticated game?

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that remote work is all about productivity. And yeah, I guess it can be. You can get a lot done when there’s no one there to interrupt you.

[Productivity](https://jobicy.com/blog/category/productivity.md) [![Image](https://jobicy.com/data/server-nyc0409/galaxy/mercury/2025/08/0742f190-221.webp)](https://jobicy.com/blog/130066-do-cover-letters-still-matter-in-2025.md) Matt Semon  Share [Do Cover Letters Still Matter in 2025?](https://jobicy.com/blog/130066-do-cover-letters-still-matter-in-2025.md)

It’s your chance to prove you’re not a robot, especially now that—let’s be honest—many people are probably using AI to write their first drafts.

It’s a strange new world, this work-from-home life. A glorious, chaotic, pajama-clad frontier. And if you’re living it, you know some truths to be self-evident.

Your goal isn’t to squeeze every last penny out of them until they’re weeping into their spreadsheets. Your goal is to find a number that makes you both happy.

Productivity isn’t linear. It’s a series of peaks and valleys. The real challenge of remote work is learning to ride those waves instead of fighting them.
