There's a popular narrative that ATMs killed the bank teller. It's wrong, and understanding why matters if you're hiring for branch roles in 2026.

When ATMs first rolled out in the 1970s, everyone assumed tellers would disappear. Instead, ATMs lowered the cost of operating a branch, which meant banks opened more of them, which meant they actually needed more tellers.

Instead of becoming obsolete, the role shifted from transaction processing to customer service and relationship-building. Economists have cited this as a clear example of automation changing a job rather than eliminating it.

That same dynamic is playing out again with digital banking and AI.

A Federal Reserve study found a 19% decline in U.S. bank branches between 2014 and 2024. Routine transaction volume is falling as mobile deposits and online transfers absorb the simple stuff, and the tellers who remain are being asked to do work that looks nothing like counting cash and making change.

THIS JUST IN: It’s the hard launch of Linea Intelligence!

Our team built Linea, eSkill’s intelligence layer, to work WITH recruiters — not around them.

To that end, the layer debuts with two capabilities: ✨Linea Build✨ lets a recruiter paste in a job title or job description and receive a draft assessment built from the SME-verified questions in the eSkill question library, and ✨Linea Search✨ applies AI-powered semantic search across that same library, surfacing the most relevant questions even when a recruiter's search terms don't match the library's exact wording.

Now, it’s even easier to create customized, job-relevant assessments that lead to better hires with eSkill.

Linea Intelligence will power upcoming features as well (but you’ll hear about those later 🤫)!

We also want to congratulate our team on the effort they put in to make this product happen: from our customer-facing teams who chatted with our partners on where they would like to see AI in the platform, to our development team on putting it together, to the rest of our team on making Linea a reality. (Teamwork really DOES make the dream work!!)

Here are two facts that are somehow both true at once.

Fact one: a college degree is a good investment. BLS data from April 2026 shows that unemployment for workers with a bachelor's degree or higher was 2.8%, compared to 4.7% for high school graduates and 6.4% for those without a diploma. The earnings premium holds, too. Degree holders consistently out-earn their peers across nearly every industry.

Fact two: a college degree is failing the people who just earned one. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reports that the unemployment rate for recent graduates (ages 22-27) hit 5.6% in early 2026, higher than the national average of 4.2%. And 42% of those who are employed are underemployed, working in jobs that don't typically require a degree. That's the highest rate since 2020.

So a degree helps over a 30-year career. But right now, nearly half of new graduates can't find work that actually uses it. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warned that 2026 graduates could face the highest jobless rate in years, partly because AI is making entry-level white-collar roles obsolete faster than anyone expected.

Say you're a patient access representative at a busy hospital. A patient walks up to the registration desk, stressed, in pain, and probably running late. You need to verify their insurance, pull up their chart, schedule a follow-up, and enter their information into the EHR. All while maintaining eye contact, showing empathy, and managing the three other patients waiting behind them.

Now imagine you can't figure out how to copy and paste.

This is far beyond a hypothetical problem. Research shows that roughly one-third of U.S. health and social care workers lack key digital skills, with about 12% having essentially no digital skills at all. As healthcare increasingly runs on electronic health records, telehealth platforms, and data-driven care models, that gap is getting harder to ignore, especially for the non-clinical support roles that keep hospitals and clinics actually functioning.

Every year ManpowerGroup surveys tens of thousands of employers about hiring difficulty, and every year the numbers stay stubbornly high. In 2026, 72% of employers across 41 countries said they struggled to fill roles. In the U.S. specifically, that was true of 69% of employers.

And here’s the catch: these aren't niche industries. Think manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, public sector, finance, IT. The shortage is cross-industry and structural.

But "shortage" is a misleading word, because it implies there aren't enough people. In most cases, there are plenty of people, especially with unemployment creeping up. What there aren't enough of are people who fit through the filter you've built.

With the advent of AI-assisted medical coding and billing tools, the skills profile for a strong medical coder in 2026 looks different than it did in 2020. 🩺

If you’re a recruiter, you still need to find a medical coder with strong ICD-10 and CPT knowledge. But you also need someone who can evaluate AI-generated suggestions critically, navigate compliance edge cases, and adapt quickly as tools change.

Testing for digital literacy, attention to detail, and problem solving alongside coding knowledge gives you a more complete picture of whether someone will thrive in the role as it exists today.

The average government job posting now gets 242 applications.

Double what it was five years ago.

LinkedIn alone processes 11,000 applications per minute, a 45% jump year-over-year, largely thanks to AI tools that let anyone generate a "perfect" resume in seconds.

Which means government agencies are drowning in applicants who all look qualified on paper.

Meanwhile, 32 states have dropped degree requirements for government roles, which is great news for the 70 million workers who gained skills outside a 4-year degree. But it also means HR teams have lost their easiest (if flawed) filter.

The agencies handling this flood of applicants well are finding new ways to qualify talent, like adding skills tests at the right moment in the hiring process. Think Excel simulations at the application stage for high-volume roles or more comprehensive assessments after the recruiter screen for higher-stakes hires.

With skills tests, hiring teams can reliably separate "looks great on paper" from "can actually do the job."

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a bad hire costs roughly 30% of the employee's first-year earnings. On a $60,000 salary, that's $18,000. On an $80,000 salary, $24,000.

But that 30% figure captures mostly direct costs, such as recruiting fees, job board spend, background checks, onboarding, and training that's now been tossed out the window. It doesn't account for the more expensive, harder-to-quantify damage that happens while the bad hire is still sitting at the desk.

SHRM estimates that the total cost of replacing an employee ranges from 50% to 200% of annual salary, with senior and executive roles clustering toward the high end. CareerBuilder data puts the average financial loss per bad hire at $17,000 for entry-to-mid-level roles, but at $240,000 for specialized or executive positions. Talk about a doozy.

Every bad hire that slips through costs your company money, time, management attention, and team morale. Some of those costs are recoverable. Some aren't, and you can't un-burn the goodwill of a strong performer who spent three months covering for someone who wasn't pulling their weight.
