So it has begun. A US recruiting company has (finally?) openly advertised to front-loading their human screeners (assuming they actually had used them previously; I have my doubts) with a chatbot that will "make hiring more human" by doing screening calls of applicants after they've submitted an application.

This reminds me of a piece by "Ask The Headhunter" Nick Corcodilos - from 2018 - on having an AI do interviews on behalf of candidates [0]: I wonder if we can get Avatar Hank and Parker on a call, save and scrutinize their conversation for valuable insights.
