Hiring and job search has been so hard and AI has amplified the existing problems instead of solving any.

  Wdym, cant you just litter your applications with buzzwords and other bs to automatically get a high score in these systems?

    HR market is basically an early google rigging era, where you can place hundreds of keywords at the footer (white text on white background) to start popping up on random searches.

    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.
