I know people are using AI for jobs (heck Ive put a few cover letters though it), but getting close to automating the entire process is wild. Not sure how I feel about it.
I hate it on both ends.
If I ever lose my current job (I actually like it and am planning to retire from this one unlike all prior ones), I'll probably just go live in the woods or work some unskilled job. Not that I'm unskilled; I just have no desire to deal with what passes for job seeking these days.
ah but you see someone else owns the woods so you can't live there, now keep being a good worker drone and buy the latest iphone
It is mutually assured destruction. The job seeker AI spams out a resume to every listing and the hiring AI rejects all applicants for not meeting some unknown criteria. In the end, no worker can find a job and no employer can get applicants. Companies go back to only hiring friends and families of existing employees.
