I'm hiring right now, and we can't get anywhere. We're just flooded with thousands of fake, ai generated candidates we can hardly sift through the noise.
What do you think would help differentiate a real candidate from slop noise? Calling, coming in person?
Many can be weeded out by looking into it a bit. Many by following up and it's literally not a real person. The phone number they give for an interview is a voip number is a big hint we've found.
Some will have a real person show up to the interview, but it's not the person from the application.
Folks are using AI to just submit hundreds of different applications to each opening with generated personas and fielding any callback. Many of them seem to be in another countries.
The noise is so bad we're removing the post and switching to only personal recommendations or recruiter leads. It's wild right now. AI has ruined everything?
Yeah AI has kinder of made everyones jobs shittier and a lot less fun
