>But as a hiring manager, this is the last thing we want. This is just a natural response to the automatic screening methods that have been used by the hiring side for years.

Of course the consequence is that everyone loses and is worse off than if this arms race never started, but you (not you personally, hiring managers in general) should have thought about that before screening automatically. This is on you.
