    Hot take I think we should ban hiring managers from using any level of technology more complicated than digital resumes.

    That’s it. Thats all you get. No keyword searching, no filters, no AI assistants. Read through resumes until you find someone to interview like how your ancestors hired people.

      I’d even want to go further and say they need to print out the resume before reading it, but that would be a waste of paper.

    Simple solution: we use AI to fill our resumes with the right fucking keywords so that eventually, both sides are talking and reading nonsense.
