alt Hacker NewsMost job openings are receiving several hundred, if not thousands, of resumes as soon as they're posted thanks to AI powered resume mills. Most resumes don't even get reviewed, let alone acknowledged. It's basically impossible to keep up with. Recruiters aren't ignoring people because they're cruel, they are being drowned by AI slop and resume mills.

haha, i'm pretty sure ignoring job applications has been pervasive long before AI.
the amount of attention this thread is receiving is a death knell for the "Who is hiring" item
Kind of crazy, but I've always written my own resume and cover letters and even my stuff is being drowned out by the same slop. It frustrating getting your AI resume filtered out - its an entirely different thing when you do things to stand out, and its still being drowned out.
Says a lot about the current state of hiring in the tech.
