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?

    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:

    HR departments also don't use AI.

    And then:

    They have been using advanced algorithms, or Ai as people used to refer to them as, forever.

    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.
