I know the market is ass rn, I’ve been looking for a job since I graduated in November of last year with no luck. Every application I get a response like “you are great, your skills are great, you meet every criteria but we found someone better”. I recently decided to start replying to emails to ask why I wasn’t picked (I reply only to emails that aren’t from no-reply or if the say I can ask for feedback). So far I have not even received one reply. Am I wasting my time??? I feel like it’s just from automated systems and they don’t even look at it. Is everything literally a ghost job?? If you have ever asked for feedback have you gotten anything useful from it?

HR doesn’t use AI? Where are you working, as someone with firsthand knowledge, our AI acceptable use policies had to be rushed because HR was already there before anyone else even realized it was going to be a big deal.
When it comes to webapps, HR is real rough as far as shadow IT is concerned anywhere I’ve worked and same with anyone I’ve talked to.
This account must be a bot if it thinks HR doesn’t use AI.

Uhh, exactly that? Major hiring software apps adopted LLMs to summarize CVs. And AI does not equal LLM. There are plenty of ML algorithms in use pre-filtering CVs.

Why should I when you contradict your own post:
And then:
And “used to” is incorrect. AI is still a parent term.
Alas, 2 seconds of searching has a Forbes article with links to HR tools built around LLMs: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2024/12/17/16-essential-generative-ai-tools-transforming-hr-in-2025/
But maybe I’m arguing with a bot anyway.

Yes, I have. The very first one on the list sells their own HR LLM, and uses others.

And they’ve integrated LLMs with other tools HR uses since ChatGPT started getting popular, too.

And, personal experience as a hiring manager being given tools that were LLM based.
Mine does.

As a first low-bar filter to eliminate candidates that are less likely to succeed.

Ours is LLM based. It makes mistakes, but nothing terrible.

Custom made with Ollama.
You’re assuming use not a siloed LLM sold to the company specifically to sort through resumes. Lots of companies have their own siloed LLM setups these days.
