The End of Job Interviews? How Work Trials Are Replacing Hiring as We Know It

In this episode of Talk That Tech, Trey Scott and Joseph Smith break down a major shift in how companies are hiring. Traditional job interviews may be on the way out as more employers turn to work trials, where candidates prove their skills by doing real tasks instead of answering questions. The hosts explain why companies are making this change, how it reduces hiring risk, and what it means for candidates trying to stand out in a competitive market. They also explore the downsides, including unpaid labor concerns, bias in evaluation, and whether this approach actually creates better long term hires. This episode looks at how AI, remote work, and skills based hiring are reshaping the job market and what you need to do to stay competitive in a world where showing your work may matter more than talking about it.
