The interesting thing to me reading this is that it's basically saying how much recruiters and hiring managers dislike/are wary of this AI-infused job application process. On the flip side, I've heard tons of complaints on the other side from job seekers: not just that job hunting is hard in a down market, but that the reign of modern ATSes means that it's a constant "battle against the algorithm" to even get noticed, tons of fake or outdated job postings, and rarely even an acknowledgement about the state of the application.
I mention this because this seems like an area where lots of people wanted to throw AI at the problem, but I have a tough time finding anyone, on either side, that thinks that automation and AI improves the process in any way.

It’s been a huge burden for applicants to go through the process. Any tool I can use to automate my job application process is something I’m going to immediately be interested in. Plus, applicants need the job to survive, while the employers aren’t really on that same level of desperation.
