Very expensive CTRL+F

Recruiter: We use AI to shortlist the best candidates Candidate: So the AI looks at skills and experience? Recruiter: Not exactly. It primarily scans for high-relevance lexical markers using a proprietary competency taxonomy model Candidate: Wait… so it's just looking for keywords? Recruiter: It’s trained on industry-specific ontologies and skill clusters to ensure alignment with job competencies Candidate: So if I don't have the exact buzzwords, I'm out? Recruiter: The system dynamically weights keyword density across resume vectors to predict fitment Candidate: So… it's just a really expensive Ctrl+F Recruiter: Yeah.. I mean No.. But ... Yeah.. I mean.. kind of.. No.. I guess...

Candidate: Cool. Does your AI also ghost me, or is that still a premium human feature? Recruiter: What do you mean?? Candidate: Am asking - does your AI reject me instantly, or does it wait three weeks to make it feel personal?
