[Subscribe here](https://weekly.talivity.com/subscribe) 📥️*   **NEWS** ## **Something You Should Know This Week** **NYT: What You Can Learn About Job-Hunting From Dating Apps** Writer **Kelly Marie Coyne** published a [cheeky piece](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/01/09/business/dating-job-hunting-ghosting-situationship.html?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=swipe-left-hire-right) this week in **The New York Times** on how the dating and job markets “aren’t that different.” **Recruiters = swipers.** “Recruiters just glance at your profile,” **Kyle** **Lagunas**, head of strategy and principal analyst at **Aptitude Research**, a research-based advisory firm, told **Coyne** for the article. “You’re going to have 15 seconds before they swipe.” **Job hunting made romantic.** The article features a list of parallels between recruiting and dating, and advice for navigating the “dates” we go on when we’re looking for a job. Take, for example, “love-bombing.” In dating, it’s about receiving excessive compliments, gifts, and other affectionate gestures without a promise of exclusivity. In job-hunting, it’s receiving flattery and promises of promotion rather than a pay raise or reasonable starting salary. Another one: In dating, “ghosting” is when one person doesn’t respond to a follow-up after a date. In job-hunting, it’s when you don’t hear back from the recruiter after interviewing for a job. **Is Tinder the new LinkedIn?** Believe it or not, some people are actually taking to the dating apps to find a job. A **Wall Street Journal** [piece](https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/job-openings-online-dating-networking-a1747cce?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=swipe-left-hire-right) from 2023 dove into how both young professionals and employers are increasingly using dating apps to talk shop —sharing resumes, open roles, and other professional opportunities. **Pro tip: Don’t do this.** Our two cents: Use the dating apps for finding dates, and the job boards for finding jobs. But if you’re tempted … check out **[Bumble Bizz](https://marketplace.recruitmentmarketing.com/solutions/bumble-bizz?utm_source=recruitmentmarketing.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=swipe-left-hire-right)**, a separate section of the dating app **Bumble** that focuses on making professional connections.
