I have been at both side of the market. And it sucks so bad at both ends. Companies which deeply care about next hire are struggling to hire and actual great people looking out are outcompeted by AI slop and AI bulk applying.
It is actually a very hard to solve problem.
The mind blower is that this spam and slop is just lowering the job market to the quality of every other capitalist market. Poor hiring manager has to look through 1000 applicants, 950 of which are spam? How many ads are shoved down your throat every day, and how many products are you actually looking for info on?
Chickens coming home to roost.
True :(
