The downside is that if all candidates are thinking like you, you are now hoping that the hiring team can sort through 100s of garbage Resumes to may be find you who may be a good fit. Your odds of being called for Round 1 is now much lower due to all that noise. Doesn't matter whose fault it is. Your probability of being called for Round 1 just went down significantly and this hurts you.

- imnotjames 2y agoWhat happens when you get an interview and spend time for a company you don't want to work for?
- petesergeant 2y agoI’ll turn it down if further research shows I don’t want to work there? Why upfront my research if I’ll be ghosted anyway? Turning down interviews because “circumstances have changed” is hardly unusual
- kmac_ 2y agoGhost jobs on one side, ghost applications on the other. Some people will just send automated applications everywhere, every day, and check for responses. That leads to ghost responses, and the cycle continues.
- petesergeant 2y agoResponding to someone to say you got their message but have changed your mind isn’t ghosting. Job hunting would be less miserable if rejections happened in a reasonable time frame

- pixelsort 2y agoThe hiring teams are employed. If they aren't in a position to fix the dynamics then nobody can. HR enjoys a vaulted position under which their suffering KPIs allow them to point their fingers at the market and shrug the blame from their shoulders . It isn't like they are going to suddenly band together and boycott AI. We've all had our sip from the fountain of eternal laziness and now we all want more.
- em-bee 2y agothat ship has sailed. companies already get 100s of applications for every job post even without candidates automating applications.
- cess11 2y agoSorting a few hundred documents don't seem like a very hard task for a software company.
- jland10 2y agoBut this is a classic prisoners dilemma then... If I don't do it and everyone else does then I am only hurting my own chances. Based on what you're saying, the only way to actually fix this is to fix the underlying systematic problem. No idea how you do that, but seems like the only logical way I can think of
