    I swear to god this is true. The recruiter said it was my personality. I didn't even ask.

    ::: spoiler divulgâche
    They were actually quite nice about it and I was happy to get the feedback.

    It’s pretty normal to look for someone with a personality in line with the team to avoid personal conflicts (eg “no jerks rule”). Some places also avoid people with a spine fearing a conflict with the management.

    I see it as a compliment when it happens to me.

      Don't do this, it will show up on every HR resume processing software and will not only create noise, you look like an idiot.
      HR departments also don't use AI. They have access to every person's personal data and need your keep it protected, that does not work well with having access to functional LLMs on their PC.

      This account must be a bot if it thinks HR doesn't use AI.

        For what use case? They are not using LLMs to process and manage cvs. I have seen the software at reputable hiring agency and my own HR department.

            As a first low-bar filter to eliminate candidates that are less likely to succeed.

              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.

                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?

                My buddy asked for feedback once. The recruiter said, "We passed because of the words you said." That was it. 😐 Say better words next time guy.

                  Are you able to confirm that hiring apps specifically use inference LLMs for Ai? They have been using advanced algorithms, or Ai as people used to refer to them as, forever.

                    So does mine, it's an algorithm they have refined over the last 15 years, it's not "smart".

                      Ours is LLM based. It makes mistakes, but nothing terrible.

                        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.

                          Are you sure you read the article? It serves my point that HR uses Ai and other than one software suite adding a chat bot for administration, none of it is inference LLMs.

                              Yes, I have. The very first one on the list sells their own HR LLM, and uses others.

                              https://blog.leena.ai/worklm-by-leena-ai/

                              And they've integrated LLMs with other tools HR uses since ChatGPT started getting popular,, too.

                              https://intellyx.com/2023/07/25/leena-ai-llm-based-virtual-assistant-with-proactive-capabilities/

                              And, personal experience as a hiring manager being given tools that were LLM based.
