Speaking of jobs and interviews. I am yet to find a job board which does not show JavaScript jobs when searching for Java jobs. Some of them claim to use AI. :)
My wife once watched me as I did a job search, carefully setting all the available parameters to match my requirements. She said "don't forget, engineering jobs are posted by admin staff", typed "software engineer location" into Google, and found way more than I ever did.
Let's not forget the job application systems that make you chronologically list every previous employer, their location, your title, and dates of employment, your education history including dates and degrees received, skillsets/technologies you have experience with, etc. All information that is on your CV and/or LinkedIn profile and they want you to manually re-type it into their late 1990's era job application system rather than using some basic NLP to extract it. Personally, the moment I start applying and the system asks me for more than my email/mobile and a CV upload, I bail on the application.
I guess that is intentional to throttel down on people applying. It works for me: Except, when I desperately need a job, I don't apply. I primarily only know "this" style of applying - It's all big corp companies, though, I must admit.
Of course, that's where machines gets it from as well. Your training set is usually which candidates were shortlisted by recruiters. At least that is what I have seen people do who are built one of these AI based recruitment systems. When I asked them are they not worried about such bad quality data, their answer is - humans know the best. Ah well, then why are you building this again?
