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, When your role is changing, you cannot just push through. But a lot of managers are telling their teams that it will get better; just keep going. This is still the old paradigm, from when change was a project with a beginning and an end. With AI, change is constant. It will not go away, and you cannot push through it. You need to redesign the way your team works. Three ways AI changes the work AI changes the way we work, and it does it in three different ways. The first is doing...

Hi Reader, The HRBP role is broken. It was meant to be strategic, helping leaders build people strategy for their units. In many companies, it turned into firefighting: solving admin problems, managing conflicts, and patching holes. I wrote about the problem and how to make a job more strategic in a Forbes Coaches Council article. The HRBP as manager coach In the latest Built by People Leaders episode, I talk with Jen Paxton, SVP of People and Talent at Roofr, about how strategic people...

Hi Reader, For the last six years, we've been living in a paradox. When everyone went remote, it became easy and natural to connect with people around the world. Our networks shifted from the people next door and colleagues in the office to basically anyone on the other side of the screen. Time zones were the only thing keeping us from meeting each other. Distance no longer mattered. We thought remote work would disconnect us. Instead, for some of us, it became the best time to connect. Now...
