@GayBearRes I work for Microsoft as Principal engineer snd just for fun I applied to 25-30 jobs and I have all ingredients in my resume scale, AI everything All rejections !! From everywhere Snowflake, Sofi, Google, Amazon, Zillow, Coin, Ebay, Yahoo, JPM All applications rejected in <3hr
@impactology full disclosure: my day job is as tech lead on an ATS (for academics, which is a different weird niche).
The ATS makes it _possible_ for folks to follow the bevy of existing (good!) laws surrounding hiring.
Let’s ban AI in ATSs; sign me up. But the ATS itself is gonna stay.
@impactology what laws? Obviously they vary, but I know the US ones.
When you disqualify someone, you need a reason. Every time. You need to report these reasons to the federal auditor. You need to be able to go back a few years and explain, for every applicant, why they fell short. Then you need to throw all that away after a bit so it’s not kept too long.
There’s just no way to do this stuff right at scale without automating large parts of it.
