This has been going on for awhile now, and is partially why job hunting has gotten so bad. Similar to RNA interference in Cellular networks, the same thing is occurring on both parties of communications that typically happen in job hiring scenarios. What are the incentives and who would benefit? Certainly a nation-state following a regime-change playbook similar to the CIA would benefit from sabotage, espionage, and all that. Demoralize, Destabilize, Bring to Crisis, and Renormalize are the various stages. Aside from that, Recruiters and professional headhunters have profit incentive to engage in these things since their services become more valuable as the noise floor increases. This is a simple indirect imposition of additional cost on all companies seeking hiring candidates. By polluting the current candidate pool to the point of no return, the only alternative are recruiters. The cost to do this used to be extremely high which is why it wasn't done in the past, with AI/LLMs the cost is negligible in comparison. People today didn't want to listen about the knock-on effects of AI being generally available. Integration is happening rapidly, and the bridges have now been burnt. Problems will only build and get worse until the instability that caused these dynamics in the first place is removed, the same general rule as any chaotic or stochastic system (such as weather/storms).
