This is sad to read, and I wonder if there is a vicious cycle going on?
Employers have too many applicants for each job for them to have the time to review them properly, so they use some BS AI that just rejects most of the candidates and doesn't even let them know they've been rejected.
So each applicant has to make up for it by applying for hundreds of jobs, making employers even more swamped.
Struggling in your job search? It may not be effort—it may be strategy.

ScamsAI job scams are soaring, aided by AI‑generated, highly personalised offers that lure job‑seekers into parting with money or personal data. The article recounts Victoria Turk’s own experience of a seemingly perfect journalist role presented by a “headhunter” who used her LinkedIn profile and tailored language before asking for payment to polish her CV—a classic “CV scam.” Similar schemes, from task‑based “quick‑cash” jobs to fake fees for training, equipment, DBS checks or visa costs, target both entry‑level workers and senior professionals, often impersonating real recruiters and using generic email addresses. In the UK, reports of recruitment fraud more than doubled between 2022 and 2024, with banks noting a 237 % rise in job‑scam complaints. Victims not only risk financial loss but also identity theft and emotional distress, feeling embarrassed or “stupid.” The piece advises vigilance: treat unsolicited contacts skeptically, verify company details via official registers, avoid generic email domains, and report scams to banks, police (Report Fraud) and platforms. It also warns of “recovery scams” that prey on victims after an initial fraud. Overall, the article highlights how AI has amplified scammers’ credibility and urges both individuals and recruitment sites to adopt stricter verification measures.
