You can do what all our applicants did - just have AI answer all of our interview questions for you, and collect a couple paycheques until we finally fire you. Rinse and repeat.

I mean ... don't do that. But we have been BOMBARDED with this, literally 100% of our pipeline was fake until we rejigged it a bunch. I wonder how much of peoples challenges are just that the scammers are making the job hunting environment a market for lemons?

If you know what you are looking for, its still pretty tedious to sort the fakes from the real CVs. If you don't, its like picking a random number. I do think this is a big part of the problem currently. The idea that someone with a psychology degree is a good choice to do this is one of the most absurd things ever conceived by a human.

That has ALWAYS been a huge problem in our industry. But HR is the blessed role, and by God, we must not violate the org chart, no matter the cost. And oh the cost!
