A new study published in Harvard Business Review by Stanford University and BetterUp Labs introduces a term that should worry every executive: “workslop.” That’s AI-generated work that “masquerades as good work, but lacks the substance to meaningfully advance a given task.” The study, based on a survey of 1,150 U.S. desk workers, finds that many employees are spending time decoding, correcting, or reworking their colleagues’ AI outputs rather than doing original, high-value work.
As companies increase their investment in and adoption of artificial intelligence tools, more employers plan to replace workers with AI within the next year, according to a September report by Resume.org. Nearly 3 in 10 companies said they’ve already replaced jobs with AI, and by the end of 2026, 37% expect to have replaced jobs with AI.
LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman has a reality check for entrepreneurs: If you’re serious about starting a company, you should say goodbye to binge-watching your favorite Netflix show after dinner or sleeping in on the weekends—you need to be on the work grind all hours of the day. “If I ever hear a founder talking about, ‘this is how I have a balanced life’—they’re not committed to winning,” Hoffman told Stanford University’s “How to Start a Startup” class in 2014. “The only really great founders are [the one’s who are] like, ‘I am going to put literally everything into doing this.’”
ApplyCall has entered the recruitment market with a new AI-powered approach to job applications. Instead of lengthy forms and repetitive CV uploads, candidates can now complete their application through a short phone conversation with an AI. The process is simple: after submitting basic details, candidates receive a call, answer a series of structured questions about their experience and motivations, and then review the transcript for accuracy. The verified data is delivered straight into the employer’s Applicant Tracking System (ATS) as a one-page summary.
RefAssured, a provider of automated reference checking solutions and performance insight for the staffing industry, today announced that it closed an oversubscribed seed round of $3.3 million, a milestone in the company’s rapid growth since it emerged from stealth two years ago. RefAssured’s goal since its inception has been to propagate a system of record for talent performance insight for the staffing industry, the equivalent of the “back of a baseball card” for performance data.
