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,

Daria

Hi Reader, For the last few months, I’ve had many conversations with HR leaders and executives about what an AI strategy for their organization should look like. And there’s a paradox running through all of them. Very few CEOs and C-suite leaders rely on their most senior HR leader to unlock the value of agentic AI, even though HR is usually the heaviest user of AI in the building, automating recruitment, onboarding, reporting, and compliance. I wrote about that paradox for the Forbes Coaches...

Hi Reader, One of the most important lessons I learned as a Chief People Officer: it's not enough to know your function. You know how to deliver engagement programs. You know how to develop people, what the key recruiting metrics are, all of it. But the most important thing — the thing that shapes a career — is understanding how your function is driving business results. And this isn't only an HR problem. The same goes for IT, admin, marketing — any function. Some get there. Some don't. Today...

Hi Reader, This week, a company asked me to help them build an AI policy. And they kind of expected me to ask them about the tools they use, the rules they apply, and how they can check whether people are actually following those rules. All reasonable questions. But I didn't start with any of them. The first three I asked were: How do your people feel about AI? How do you keep it from getting in the way of their judgment? And how do you plan to work with it, day to day? Here’s why. A policy...
