      This is nothing new. We just called it ML 5 years ago.

      For a decade now, the best way to get an interview was to basically copy all the buzzwords out of the PD and find a way to stick them in your resume.

      I’ve applied to some jobs, but AI decided that my personality wasn’t good enough.. Dystopian future here we go!

      I wonder how many resumes are now put together with a heavy reliance on LLMs.

      There’s a lot of misinformation in these types of articles. The resume writing industry created a lot of myths about ATS filtering to sell their „ATS optimization“ services. „AI is rejecting your resume!“ is the 2020s version of „keyword scanning is rejecting your resume!“ In both cases, the „solution“ is paying for „professional“ resume writing.

      The statistic in the headline „75% of resumes never reach a human“ predates widespread adoption of AI. It was invented by a resume writing firm that went out of business in 2013. The firm never published its methodology, and follow-up surveys and studies have directly contradicted this claim.

      The simple truth: You just weren’t what the company was looking for. Chances are either your resume was reviewed and canned, or they had so many applicants they stopped looking at new applications after x number of days (which is why its so important to apply to jobs early).

      In a vast majority of cases, ATS auto-rejections occur when someone answers a disqualifying question on the application, such as „are you qualified to work in the US.“

      It hasn’t really changed, in the past they just used word filters. At least the AI is more intelligent.

      All the more reason to start your own company and fuck working for the man.

      What to do what to do. I just got back to the U.S. and need a job but my resume is just bullshit that scores me no points anywhere. Someone help?

      That’s because there are no jobs. That’s the simple fact of the matter. 90% of Jobs are fake or recurring schedule, so they don’t actually exist. The remaining 10% of jobs that do exist are swamped with applications, anywhere from 2x to 200x over what the job poster expected. Some of those jobs have already been filled, and they haven’t taken the posting down yet. And for the very very small I would say 1% of jobs that people are actually recruiting for actively, it’s a lottery. Whoever gets their fastest, whoever has the buzz words

      Edit: I’m specifically talking about white collar work in the USA.

      Yeah we know, this isn’t a new thing. Probably been going on for almost a decade

      I read each and every cover letter that reaches me. On the flip side, the amount of people that are blatantly getting AI to write it for them is staggering.

      Interviewer: How familiar are you with AEO?

      Me: Well, I mean, I got this interview soooooo…

    20. StrongBad_IsMad on

      I can imagine it. I was just temporarily the hiring manager for a role my boss has posted while she was on vacation. Her ask to me was to review the resumes and give first pass on consideration so that we could schedule some initial screening interviews. I only saw four applications pop up in our system. I find it hard to believe that that’s the only number of people who applied.

    21. boner79 on

      It’s all AI battling AI now. Resumes written by AI to game the AI reading the resumes.

    23. i_amtheice on

      Every job I’ve received in my adult life has been through someone I know. I haven’t gotten a job from a cold call or a random application or resume in two decades.

    25. DrBee7 on

      You know this has been happening for years and not just now. Automated screening has been a thing long before the last few year’s AI hype. All these articles talk like there was no automation without gen ai.

    26. jam_rok on

      I think another way to look at it is that 70% of people are applying for a job in a big company.

      I don’t think that small businesses normally do this unless I’m mistaken.

    27. psaux_grep on

      Considering that 90%+ of the last job applications I read where written by or with AI I do get it.

      Never had so many «applications» for a position we’ve hired for either. Up about 30x….

      Shit in – shit out.

      „Your HR department sucks, and it’s killing your business“ would have been a better title.  

    29. eliota1 on

      It used to be that listing a job brought in 10s of resumes. Note it’s hundreds and most of them are unqualified. ATS systems have been automatically eliminating resumes for at least 15 years.

    30. fractalcoholic on

      Might was well convert your resume to JSON to help the bots read it easier, score it higher

    31. doctor_x on

      I’ve been trying to fill a position at work. The portal we use creates an AI summary of the applicants resume that’s pretty accurate, but I make a point of reading each one, regardless. After a while, you get pretty good at spotting the resumes that were created using AI.

    32. bicx on

      On the flip side, I’m trying to hire people and literally dealing with an enormous amount of fake applicants trying to use AI in real time to pass interviews. Look up the North Korean IT worker scam. It’s a huge problem in tech hiring right now. They perform the interviews with deepfake videos or someone posing as a U.S. citizen for a remote role, then once they’re hired, the work is done by North Koreans to launder money back home, bypassing sanctions.

      Most of them are easy to spot. Others aren’t.

    34. mezcalbomb on

      I wonder what companies that do this I made maybe 50 hirings last 3 years and involved in maybe a 100 and have never used AI to choose candidates and move through steps.

    35. magaruis on

      Source ; some sketchy AI CV builder service who pulled the data out of their ass trying to sell their services.

    36. checker280 on

      And when they finally reach a human it’s a recruiter who doesn’t understand the industry.

    37. TONKAHANAH on

      Honestly I havent been job searching in a while but I suspect the real game hasnt changed that much. You have to do mix of old and new practices. Its useless to do only the boomer thing and walk in some place, ask for an application and shake a few hands, its also useless to just spam apply job listings online. Find a few places to target, apply online as a prerequisite simply to just say you did and have your data in the system, then start hunting down the person you need to get in touch with over at whatever place you applied for and start reaching out to them as much as you can before you breach an appropriate level of professionalism.

      i suspect its still harder to get by this way. in the past this was almost a sure fire way to get a job assuming you were not underwhelming unqualified for the position you were trying to get. Getting in touch with some one „physically“ is still the best way to get your foot in a door, that is still true, I imagine its just gotten harder and more people have learned how to do that and do it better so there is probably more real competition.

      My partner is a recruiter for a large international tech company. She reads resumes for hours each day. This sounds overblown.
