AI is disrupting hiring: How tech talent can stand out | Hilton Head Island Packet
The companies getting AI right aren't hiring armies of tech experts.
They're picking one problem and solving it completely.
If you've got an unused AI subscription collecting dust, you're not alone
The companies getting AI right aren't hiring armies of tech experts.
They're picking one problem and solving it completely.
If you've got an unused AI subscription collecting dust, you're not alone. Most business owners I talk to bought a tool because someone made it sound urgent — then watched their team quietly ignore it. That's not a failure of intelligence. It's a failure of fit.
Here's what the current wave of tech layoffs actually reveals: companies are cutting generalist tech roles and doubling down on AI that handles specific, repeatable work. Customer intake. Report summaries. Scheduling. Not everything — one thing.
That's the signal worth paying attention to. Not "adopt AI everywhere." Adopt AI where you already have a bottleneck.
The businesses winning right now chose a single workflow — something done manually 10 times a week — and automated just that. Measurable time saved. Clear before-and-after. Team buy-in because it actually helped them.
Start there. Pick the task your team complains about most. That's your first AI project. No new systems, no training programs, no disruption.
What's the one repetitive task in your business that eats time every single week?
