Tris R. positions himself as a high-integrity talent partner who champions human-centric recruitment in an increasingly automated landscape. His content strategy centers on the tension between technological efficiency and authentic human intent, frequently using "war stories" from the interview trenches to advocate for transparency and emotional intelligence. He is notable for his defense of the "messy recruiter" archetype, reframing non-linear career paths as evidence of resilience and high-pressure adaptability rather than instability. By intersecting tactical AI advice with a raw, unfiltered critique of broken hiring systems, Tris establishes himself as a pragmatic realist who values the "why" behind a candidate's journey more than a polished, algorithmically perfect CV.

I just watched a candidate torch a great interview...
without even realising it.
Not because they used AI.
Because they used it to hide.
I love AI.
I use it.
My team uses it.
But if you bring AI into an interview like it’s a magic mask?
you’re done.
Here’s the scene.
Camera on.
Good energy.
Strong CV.
What are you looking for next?
And they freeze.
Not a thoughtful pause.
A blank one.
Eyes flicking left.
tiny delays.
That weird rhythm where you can hear the copy/paste happening in their brain.
Then suddenly...
a perfect answer.
Too perfect.
Full of keywords.
Full of 'synergy' and 'stakeholders' and 'driving impact'.
Zero human.
So I changed the question.
What do you actually want to learn in your next role?
not what the job description wants.
what YOU want.
And it fell apart.
AI can help you prepare.
👉🏻 It cannot give you direction.
AI can help you sound polished.
👉🏻 It cannot give you taste.
AI can fill silence.
👉🏻 It cannot fill a lack of curiosity.
If you can’t tell me what you’re moving toward,
‘please hire me for anything.’
And that is terrifying for a hiring manager.
1️⃣ Write your own 'north star' first
what kind of problems do i want?
what kind of people do i want to work with?
what kind of pace do i want (chaos, steady, hypergrowth, research etc)?
If you can’t write those lines without a tool,
that’s the real problem.
2️⃣ Use AI like a sparring partner (not a ventriloquist)
Challenge my answer.
What’s unclear?
What would a recruiter not believe here?
Then rewrite it in your words.
if it sounds like a blog post, it’s not yours.
3️⃣ Bring proof of work or stop talking
Show me something.
A repo.
A deck.
A doc.
A spec you wrote.
A workflow you built.
A mistake you made and fixed.
'war stories' beat perfect sentences every time.
4️⃣ Say the quiet part out loud
If you’re using AI live for translation or notes, just say it.
Just to be transparent, I’m using an AI assistant to help me translate / capture what you’re asking.
Secrecy is what makes it weird.
Transparency makes it human.
If your interview only rewards polished answers...
congrats.
you’re selecting for performance.
Want to find the real humans?
Ask questions that require a point of view.
What are you irrationally excited about right now?
What do you disagree with in your field?
What would you do differently if you had to ship this in 2 weeks?
What are you trying to become?
Humans have direction.
Robots have output.
If a someone has to use AI to decide what they want...
they don’t want it yet.
They want approval.
And approval is not a career plan.
Amis recruteurs, vous le voyez aussi ?
Because I swear, the future of interviewing is not banning tools.
It’s building interviews where being human is the advantage.
Start there.
