that's an awful application to interview ratio, jeez
- thibaut_barrere 3y agobut a fairly good effort to interview ratio :-) (my main empathy will go at the recruiters, having to filter out massive amounts of auto-generated applicant files!)
- grix 3y agoI agree, but to some extend that the bed companies made, now they have to lay in it because it's an arms race, recruiters are also using AI to filter people, just look at the chat GPT hack for resumes
- thibaut_barrere 3y agoindeed I know (I had a longish term gig working on an "applicant survey SaaS app"). Measures and counter-measures :-)
- jacquesm 3y agoI never expected to see a sentence with 'recruiters' and 'empathy' that didn't include the words 'lack of'.
- thibaut_barrere 3y agoIt's a good point haha :-) Maybe caused by the fact I've done a fair bit of recruiting (although not at large companies) some years and sometimes drown a bit. I can relate somehow.
- red-iron-pine 3y agoI'd bet my hat that most of the recruiters never even saw a single resume that came from the AI, and that the vast, vast majority were immediately filtered by the ATS. Doesn't even have to be anything big, just that there aren't enough keywords, or that there were gaps between employment that were too large, etc. The ATS would then rank the applications and score them, and HR just looks at the top 15 or something and picks the top 5, whittles them down to 2-3. They're not spending 8 hours a day reading resumes.
