Experts behind technology giants such as Sam Altman of OpenAI or Mark Zuckerberg of Meta have warned of the arrival of artificial intelligence. Millions of jobs are going to disappear due to AI fever.

Tim Rogers, a journalist specialized in technology, assures that Not only is it ending millions of jobs, including programming or resource management. Algorithms are also changing after the arrival of AI, they are now applied to practically any tool.

Job search with artificial intelligence arrives

The fever for artificial intelligence has also reached the selection processes, Rogers regrets that it has become an increasingly complex and dehumanized process. Algorithms with AI are collapsing the labor market.

The journalist assures that reality has changed forever. AI rejects a resume in seconds, too It prevents many candidates from even being seen by a real person in the selection processes.

Companies are obsessed with saving costs and end up opting for selection systems that use algorithms that classify, score and discard resumes. There is no human mediation in more and more hiring.

Tim Rogers has made it clear that what was once an agile process has now become a digital bureaucratic nightmare for companies and candidates. Applications end up on platforms that accept or reject a resume based on algorithms that make decisions.

The journalist believes that “the employment system is broken.” Rogers confesses to having sent more than a hundred job applications without receiving hardly a response from the companies. The famous ATS, candidate management programs, were designed to speed up selection, but now they are overwhelmed.

Tim Rogers assures that applications «are lost among thousands of machine-generated documents.» A study indicates that 85% of candidates take more than nine months to find a job after sending hundreds of applications before getting an interview.

The most popular job-finding platforms such as LinkedIn or Indeed register response rates to applications of less than 5%, the saturation after the arrival of AI is enormous. Rogers criticizes that some services even promise to “solve” the problem with more artificial intelligence.

“We are sold the idea that AI can fix the mess it has created,” says Rogers. The journalist has explained that The few opportunities he has gotten in his months of job searching have not come from algorithmsbut from his own contacts.
