Watched this play out from both sides this year and it is absurd. Candidates run their CV and cover letter through an LLM tuned to whatever the job ad says, so the application is basically machine written. Then the company feeds every application into an AI screener to rank them, because no human can read that volume, so the CV is now one model writing to beat another model reading, and the human on either end has stopped doing the judging at all. An article I read put a number on the candidate side, something like 60% of applicants in the UK and US already use AI in the process (feels low honestly). The CV basically stopped being a signal the second both sides automated it, everyone reads like a top 5% candidate now, and there was a line from one of these recruiting founders, Constantin Michel who runs Synmatch, that stuck with me, that if a keyword is just sitting on the CV it falls apart in about 30 seconds once you make someone talk through it. Which is sort of the whole thing, because the only part that survived the arms race is making people demonstrate the skill live, everything upstream of that is two robots negotiating. So is the CV just done as a filter now, or has anyone seen a version of automated screening that is not just one AI grading another? submitted by /u/Comfortable_Damage20
