My experience in the past twenty years on both the looking and hiring end is that ultimately I don't think AI changes anything.
You've just replaced humans in HR that have no fucking clue what to look for and relied on algorithms and key word searches to filter out the good people to just going to directly to algorithms that will do the same shit job.
At my job, it used to be the department managers who did interviews and made hiring decisions, but then they changed it so that HR would handle all of that. Ever since then, they've gone and hired the absolute shittiest people you can imagine. HR has no idea how to hire people or what to look for. They even hired a sex offender to work in an area where children are likely to be present because they never bothered to do a background check.
Yes, we've seen so called "experts" telling your personality from your handwriting, or stupid personality tests... HR sure can find convoluted ways to reject random applications.
