Do you think they even realize that the people they're looking for are the people most cynical about and turned-off by the automated application process because we know how to build the same type of automated application process? 😂
Like, eagerness to engage on this stuff is an application anti-pattern.
That's like, the sort of diversity hires they dream of will be grossed out by any position that mentions diversity hiring. 😂
I'm perfectly fine with being treated the same as straight, white guys, tyvm.
Oh you mean someone who's well qualified because they worked hard, showed results, grew their knowledge, and is willing to apply it?

I have to speculate this is a larger number than is generally assumed
Right! I remember reading blogs a month or so ago about how to add some hidden prompt engineering into your cover letters using AI to help get passed the BS AI filters. They had a ton of stats, something like an order of magnitude better response rate.

100%. It's just throwing apps at the wall and seeing what sticks. It's terrible for "placement" if that makes sense.
I'll keep doing it, and working where I can as long as I can until I figure out what to do myself, or someone finds me. It's worked for me once before.
