AI only highlights how ridiculous the hiring process is. A program that generates likely word sequences determines whether or not you get the job? What is even the point of that? The company looking for employees would be better off looking for people that are actually good at the job they are supposed to do there. (Unless that job is generating likely word sequences -- then they should buy AI instead of hiring people).
Without AI, such a process favors potential employees that are good at writing likely word sequences themselves, and not those that are good at actually dpoing the job.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoYou just pointed out how RIDICULOUS technology is in this aspect. The arms race started before AI -- if people had no computers to submit resumes, they might actually have to go in and TALK to someone...

- vouaobrasil 3y agoI am sure you would find something else intellectual to tinker with.

That's how most companies do it, even today. There is a special subset of companies that overautomate the hiring process, but it's not most of them (outside of SV-style companies, anyway).
