Summary
Many companies are increasingly using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to screen job applications, which some job seekers find challenging. AI can quickly sort through applications, but this means fewer applications might be seen by humans. The process can be frustrating for applicants, and some are using AI themselves to write their applications.
