ChatGPT Knows Your Name—Do You Like What It Sees?


Hi Reader

A friend of mine was hired last week—because ChatGPT recommended him.

No kidding.

They didn’t dig through resumes. They didn’t network their way to him. They simply asked ChatGPT deep research to identify top candidates.

And my friend’s name came up.

That’s the world we live in now.

We used to worry about what showed up when someone Googled us. Then it was LinkedIn. And now? It’s AI.

Companies are literally asking large language models to assess us. To size up our digital presence. To recommend who’s worth hiring.

Here’s the real question:

Are you ready for that kind of visibility?

Try this little experiment:

Open ChatGPT and type in—

What do you know about [Your Name], and what are the pros and cons of hiring them for [Your Role]?”

It might feel strange at first, but give it a shot.

  • If the answer makes you smile—amazing. You’re doing something right.
  • If it’s crickets or confusing—don’t worry. But don’t ignore it either.

In this new landscape, your digital presence is your reputation.

🎯 That’s why I’m starting a 7-Day Personal Brand Challenge, starting May 26. It’s designed to help you show up—online and in the minds of hiring managers, colleagues, and yes, even ChatGPT.

By the end, you’ll have:

  • A profile that positions you as a top-tier hire
  • A repeatable system for creating and sharing content
  • A digital footprint that gets you found—by people and algorithms alike

Let’s make sure you’re not invisible in the age of intelligent search.

Cheering you on,

Hi Reader, You make your first People hire at 40 people. You give them a VP title, because you want a strong candidate to say yes. Eighteen months later you’re at 200 people, opening a second market, and you need a CHRO. Now you have to tell a loyal, hard-working person that the top job is going to someone else. That conversation usually starts at the moment of the first hire, long before anyone thinks about the CHRO. Hire for the Stage In the latest Built by People Leaders episode, I talk...

Hi Reader, Daria’s here. This week I’m handing over to Verena Hoffmann, a somatic coach who helps leaders do the one thing that gets you home earlier: end the workday physically, embodied. And no, just closing your laptop is often not enough. A short introduction I’m Verena. I spent over 16 years in events, startups and people management before I trained as a somatic coach. I know the pleasure and the pressure of that world. Now I help high-functioning people, many of them in leadership...

Hi Reader, When a team member comes to you and says, “I’m not doing well right now,” what do you do? Most managers who want to help suggest a vacation or give them easier work. To the manager, that’s care. To the team member, it says: I told you the truth, and you stopped trusting me with the work. This is one of the most common mistakes leaders make around mental health at work. It comes from good intentions, and it still does damage. The ACT model: responding when someone says they’re...
