Absolutely. They first ask you to fill an "internal resume" that is automatically filled by AI from your PDF, then is it parsed by an "ATS grader" to give you good or bad grades (I've seen it done by a friend of mine). It allows HR to reject most people quickly without reading or doing any kind of work.

I don't blame them though, most fullstack job offers have up to 200 applicants for any kind of job or requirement. It's: AI job offer -> 200 AI fake resume -> AI ATS to reject people.

i think AI is being used to screen job applicant resumes in the usa, thats why i think theres been so many people who have the same problem.

I'm in France. It's the same apocalypse as in the USA, but companies and recruiters are eager to get the biggest number of resume in their database. 50 is only a random number and it makes no difference in what you experience. Most companies post job offers, but never hire anyone, I've seen it because those offers are reposted as "brand new" every other week, which means that they found no one and they try again.

I use LinkedIn, Welcome to the Jungle, Hello Work, and every other site where I can apply. I think I sent at least 2 resumes every day for 6 months, i.e. 360 resumes, and most interviews are only meant for the recruiter to read my resume, me to explain it, and that's it. It seldom ends with a real interview in the final company. I forgot to mention that the recruiters are mostly working for "contracting companies" which is where you apply when you are desperate.

To sum it up, 50 or 10 interviews is the same thing, there is no job nowadays, it's all lies. The serious jobs I found where from small unknown companies that do not advertise at all...

Not yet, but they all have various job titles like AI developer, AI architect, AI devops, AI anything... It's like they stick the word AI to traditional roles and expect people to understand what it's all about (or pretend it's a job that exists at all, it's a scam after all).
