Companies “leaning into AI to filter out,” even qualified job candidates.
Newsweek 1/28/24.. “While over a third of job seekers said they’re applying to more jobs now and hearing back less, there’s also a substantial number of job seekers who have continued to search for employment for more than a year.
Roughly one in five were still looking for a job for more than a year going into 2025, and 26 percent said they don’t plan to job hunt because the current job market is so challenging…
Job seekers not hearing back is a failure of the system and modern hiring processes. Companies have leaned heavily into automation and AI to screen resumes, often filtering out qualified candidates before a human ever sees their application. This is inefficient and demoralizing. We’re telling job seekers they need to put in more effort while simultaneously creating systems that disregard that effort entirely.”
