Recruitics and a coalition of HR tech leaders including Workday have launched the Open Job Context Protocol (OJCP). This new open-source standard is designed to manage the high volume of low-quality, AI-generated job applications by creating a structured way for AI agents and employer systems to communicate.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of HR Tech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Hiring is splitting into two streams: one for spam bots and one for verified AI agents. Your ATS or job board must now support the OJCP protocol or it will become the default destination for low-quality applicants.
