Hey, want to talk about how AI has changed my work style today
I'm Charles, and I've been doing recruitment at MyJob.one for nearly ten years. It's funny—when I first started, I was still using paper resumes and Excel sheets to screen candidates. Back then, AI recruitment seemed like science fiction—as unrealistic as believing a time machine could take me back ten years.
But things have really changed over the past year or so. Last week at ETHGlobal's booth in Tokyo, a developer told me, "You recruiters don't understand the anxiety of tech people." That got me thinking—their real anxiety is how hard it is to find the right people.
Did you know? On the MyJob platform, we now process over 1,500 technical resumes daily on average. Manual screening would take at least three person-days (about 15 hours), but with our AI job search system, preliminary screening takes less than 20 minutes.
Why is AI recruitment especially crucial in Web3?
- High mobility of technical talent (data shows turnover rates are 40% higher than traditional industries over the past six months)
- Rapid iteration of project demands (monthly growth rate for smart contract developer roles is 12%)
- Global distributed work model (78% of Web3 developers are spread across more than 50 countries)
First, let's look at AI's practical applications in recruitment
Honestly, our smart recruitment system has evolved to a very mature stage. It's as intuitive as Tokyo's subway turnstiles:
Resume screening phase—Our AI analyzes dimensions like your GitHub activity, technical blog quality, and smart contract auditing experience. For example, if someone has written Solidity code for 20 DeFi projects and open-sourced testing tools, their resume is automatically flagged as "high-potential developer."
Skill matching calculation—This is as precise as calculating coffee shop wait times. Our system evaluates candidates against job requirements (e.g., Ethereum developer roles needing Solidity, Hardhat, OpenZeppelin skills) to find the closest matches.
Interview assessment—Here's an interesting observation: With AI-assisted interview tools, we've found that truly outstanding Web3 candidates often share these traits:
- Quickly grasp new technologies and apply them to projects
- Have cross-chain development experience
- Participated in open-source community governance
- Can write technical documentation in English
Interestingly, Web3 job seekers are most often asked not technical questions but practical ones like "How do you balance multitasking?" and "How do you manage project Gas Fee budgets?"
Web3 job search market trends and opportunities
I've seen too much data at a VC firm in San Francisco. Their stats show:
- Median salary for Ethereum developers: $85,000 (excluding equity incentives)
- Monthly demand growth for Solana developers: 12%
- Annual salary for ZK-Rollup experts: $120,000+Token rewards
- Average work hours for BSC developers: 2 hours/day less than traditional devs (due to community governance participation)
By the way, at Token2049 recently, I noticed something interesting: Many job seekers treat GitHub contributions like A4-sized technical resumes, which is a fatal mistake! Those hired on MyJob platform prioritize actual problem-solving skills.
Here's lesser-known data: The fastest-growing regions for AI job search roles are the U.S., Singapore, and Korea. Korean programmers love using AI tools to optimize smart contract Gas efficiency.
Oh—if you're reading this and considering updating your resume on MyJob.one, add "Gas Fee optimization" and "cross-chain bridge auditing"—they're the hottest skills now.
How to leverage AI tools to boost your job competitiveness
This hit me while waiting at Tokyo Airport. Just as you'd use a coffee maker for cappuccinos, arm yourself with these AI tools:
Step 1: Create an AI-optimized resume
Stop sending plain-text resumes! Smart approaches now:
- DApp-style resume: Use HTML/CSS for interactive resumes with live Gas Fee tests
- GitHub Action automation: Auto-update resumes (like Tokyo's 3 AM vending machines)
- NFT resume: Package projects as NFTs (but watch Gas Fees!)
Step 2: Use AI for skill gap analysis
Example: Say you're targeting Layer 2 developer roles. You could:
- Check target role requirements on MyJob.one (Solidity, C++, Vyper)
- Use GitHub Copilot to learn new languages
- Practice smart contract audits (study Etherscan cases)
- Generate project ideas with ChatGPT and build prototypes
Honestly, interns using AI tools learn 40% faster than manual learners.
Step 3: Smart mock interview training
Pro tip: Combine these tools:
- OSS audit tools (e.g., Slither) for smart contract practice
- DiceBot-like games to understand on-chain economics (no gambling)
- Farcaster/Lens protocol simulations
- MyJob.one's anonymous mock interviews (super realistic!)
A rainy day in London taught me: A4 resumes are outdated. Competitive candidates operate like DAOs—transparent, verifiable, and continuously contributing value.
AIOps-era salary negotiation strategies
Honestly, coding in NYC cafés was my thing. But now, AI is reshaping salary talks.
What can AIOps systems do? Simply:
- Analyze market salary data (from public postings)
- Predict your value growth (based on project impact)
- Generate negotiation reports (including Token incentives)
- Simulate negotiation dialogues (Web3-specific)
At ETHGlobal Tokyo, a developer used AI to prep: - Tech stack match proofs - Project impact visualizations - Career path maps - Equity grant proposals - Token strategy analyses
Result? He got 40% higher salary + $250K bonus—astonishing for Web3.
On MyJob platform, senior smart contract engineer applicants with AIOps prep:
- 65% higher success rate
- AIOps detects 82% of hidden skill gaps
- AIOps proposals get replies 2+ days faster
AIOps salary negotiation in 5 steps:
- Market research → Build your value equation
- Quantify contributions → Speak with data
- Predict future value → Show growth potential
- Design strategy → Include Token incentives
- Execute & iterate → It's a loop
"Wait..." A Berlin train thought: "Where does human intuition excel?"
That's key! AIOps gives averages but can't measure uniqueness. Like paying extra for artisanal coffee, some qualities defy algorithms.
Final tip:
"Actually..." Back from Singapore, I read in Changi's bookstore: ‘True scarcity isn't technical skill—it's talent that creates network effects.’
"So..." Keep moving! If prepping AIOps job strategies, remember: MyJob.one offers career coaching, not just job listings."
"Someone said my hair's like blockchain—messy but full of potential."
