A comic strip journey through The Office's biggest hiring disasters—
and how AI would've saved Scranton from total chaos
"That's what she said" — Michael Scott (probably about this landing page)
Or: Why Michael Scott Needed AI (But Didn't Know It)
Michael hired his nephew who was unqualified
THE PROBLEM:
Michael: 'I hired him because he laughed at my jokes'
AI HIRING SAYS:
AI: 'Based on skills assessment, this candidate scored 23/100'
💡 Even Michael would trust AI over his gut feelings (that's what she said)
Ryan went from temp to executive disaster
THE PROBLEM:
Ryan: 'I'm kind of a wunderkind'
AI HIRING SAYS:
AI: 'Red flags detected: Narcissism +95%, Track record -67%'
💡 Fire guy would've stayed a temp (which honestly, he was good at)
A man who couldn't count got an accounting job
THE PROBLEM:
Kevin: 'Me think, why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?'
AI HIRING SAYS:
AI: 'Math proficiency required. Candidate failed basic arithmetic test.'
💡 Would've saved Dunder Mifflin years of 'keleven' mysteries
No one knows what Creed actually does
THE PROBLEM:
Creed: *hands over someone else's résumé*
AI HIRING SAYS:
AI: 'Identity verification failed. Background check: EXTREMELY CONCERNING'
💡 The blockchain never forgets, Creed. Never.
Questionable Hires
That could've been prevented with basic screening
Office Fire
Started by an over-promoted temp. Ryan, we're looking at you.
Background Checks
For Creed. Ever. We still don't know who he is.
(If they were honest about needing help)
"I would not have hired Ryan if we had AI screening. Actually, that's a lie. I probably still would have."
Michael Scott
Regional Manager (Self-Proclaimed Best Boss)
"AI hiring? That's just a fancy way of saying you don't trust your instincts. But also... it probably works better than Michael's instincts."
Jim Halpert
Former Prankster, Current Parent
"At Schrute Farms, we don't need AI. We have beet-based assessments. But I respect the efficiency."
Dwight Schrute
Assistant Regional Manager (or is it Assistant TO the...)
Start using AI hiring before you accidentally hire the next Ryan, Kevin, or... Creed.
No credit card required. Set up in 5 minutes. We promise not to make it as complicated as Dunder Mifflin's org chart.
