Lol, you don’t know how middle management works, do you. I have been “empowered to find ways to be more efficient” so unfortunately that means no budget for extra resources, use the AI tools that some Jr c-suite asshole pushed to justify his latest promotion.
I did choose to set filters on resumes loosely at the expense of having a larger pool for the video portion. I could have tightened the resume filters, but for this particular job, I decided verbal communication explaining how they used x tool mattered more than how well one copy/pasted keywords from the job posting into the resume. I would probably set filters differently for a different type of job.
I also don’t think it’s “cool” to have a down selected pool of 70. I think it’s a sign the job market is fucked up and getting worse. The job itself is fine; it has one good benefit of paying for just about any advanced degree that can be stretched to sound “job relevant”, but other than that it’s mid.
I failed my hirevue (I got a 40%) but my recruiter talked to the company and my previous manager gave a glowing recommendation so I got the job. I allegedly did a good job on the hirevue by all humans involved. Fuck this AI shit. The only way I got this job was because of humans, the ai did everything it could prevent the company from getting their preferred candidate. If the job market wasn’t so fucked and I haven’t been unemployed for 5 months in the past two years I’d give this company the bird and tell them to fuck off too, but I don’t have health insurance and my bank account is drained.

I mean, you’re describing poorly run company. It’s unfortunately all to common, but it’s also isn’t something good or even standard.
