Comment on The American Worker vs. the Most Qualifiedparent

Comments

Have you interviewed any of these candidates yet? I doubt that you have 500+ real candidates. My experience in the past 12 months of hiring is that you'll have maybe 10 "qualified on paper" candidates, and 490 AI-generated profiles.

Hard to be too mad at the applicants when a similar percentage of the roles might also be fake.

That might be true if you're applying for a megacorp like AWS or something but hard to feel like that's a valid argument when you're applying to a company with 2 open roles.

Small companies I've worked for are "always hiring". They leave job descriptions posted in case they get some miracle applicant.

you only got 10 qualified applicants to a generic software engineer position? i am having hard time beliving that sorry.
