#3To summarize the article though: Online hiring continues to be overwhelmed by huge numbers of low quality applications, now with some extra AI tools that make it easier to lie about your experience.
Same issue as before, now wrapped up in OpenAI API calls.

#4I think this is conflating some things,
I’ve had interviews where AI use was encouraged. I’ve used a coderpad screenshare that had an LLM tab you could write with.
so in this article, where they mention some of the respondents disclosed using AI, it doesnt say if that was a “good” or “bad” thing for that company
its not accurate to assume, despite the article reinforcing a bias towards it being a problem

#5Serves them right. Employers have been using AI and algorithms to weed out resumes/applications for years. To the point that the only way to get seen by an actual human is the game the system.

#7> That came after LinkedIn began rolling out a new set of generative AI tools for recruiters to source candidates in October. With the sourcing tool, recruiters can search a phrase like “I want to hire engineers in Texas,” and profiles of people that may meet those criteria appear, as do other specific skills that may be related to the role. They can also send messages written with generative AI and set automatic follow-up messages.
What are better alternatives to LinkedIn, for people who want to get that rare serendipitous message from a recruiter?
(Not just another company that wants to behave like LinkedIn when they can get away with it, but that wants to be and is a lot better.)

#8This problem is exasperated by the fact that recruiters are often the ones getting laid off first in a downturn or cost effiency initiative. So there’s even less humans filtering through applications.
Even though it’s an issue I really don’t see companies spending a ton of time and energy fixing it. As mentioned in the article, they could simply stop posting jobs on LinkedIn or rely only on inbound candidates. It’s not rocket science. Just like dating, if you get bombarded with peoole knocking on your door, simply stop putting yourself out there.

Exactly, I came here looking for this comment. Many companies have been using AI tools for years to power recruiting. Now they're upset that candidates are using the same technology. The recruiters turned their profession into a tit for tat arms race.
