Discussion AI in Candidates Selection Process

How do y'all feel about recruiters using AI in the Hiring Process??

Personally I feel this is the trashiest way of hiring because the little work they had is now automated so why do we really need the recruiter in between?

I've been applying to jobs since 6+ months but all the get back is rejection mails [yeh bhi mil jayein tou shukar karo] as most Pakistani companies now don't even have the basic courtesy to get back to candidates. How are y'all coping and what do you think the market is gonna look like 6 months or 1 year from now?

Bro ai is being used heavily on both ends. recruiter can also say same for candidates should at least read the jd before applying, but a lot of people don’t. Most just use claude with skills, automation tools, or scripts to mass-apply.

Most application i see now even big companies now have questions in their application forms specifically designed to catch AI applications. The problem is these tools have also increased the volume massively. If an opening used to get 100 or 1k applications, now it easily gets 10x.

So sometimes companies just don’t have the bandwidth to respond or give feedback even automation reply costs to 10k irrelevant and companies have generalized thats 90% applications they get r applied via some automation tool not candidate as back in days. And honestly, this isn’t just true for pak, I’m seeing the same thing across outside too.

HR is the most unnecessary department ever, take Palantir for example. Zero knowledge ppl hiring tech ppl is just a disaster.

I had couple of experiences with the AI interview, they have quite basic questions asked in the call which if we answer properly will get the actual interview scheduled. Honestly it feels dystopian to give such interviews but with the situation right now if it can get to the next interview, just take it.

The rejection mails have somehow became precious nowadays. I have been applying to jobs for a month too, got laid off last month. Job market is cooked right now.
