I feel so much better they saved some money not hiring someone.

It feels broken when the industry cannot use resumes to determine whether a person is a qualified candidate in any regard. A resume is often treated as either a complete lie or as fodder for a background check.

So then the industry doubles down with third party recruiters who use humans as match makers and half assed candidate screeners, but that clearly isn’t working either so the industry will double down on AI to write the resumes, read the resumes, and select from the resumes.

No surprise the result is the same in each of those conditions. The only difference in output is which biased preference wins the process, an additional step of bias.

Even still interviews continue to feel like literacy tests, blind dates for people incapable of marriage, or toddler play dates. And even still many of the candidates still cannot write software, are sociopaths hostile to original solutions, and continue to jump ship moving from expert beginner job to the next producing next to nothing.

What has been accomplished in any of this?
