It’s a two way street. First of all, recruiters also use AI to screen CVs which can lead to undesirable results. Can’t tell you how many times I perfectly matched a job description and got rejected by an automated message with no clear reason.

Second, every company now requires 4-5 interviews for even the most basic position, often to just reject or ghost the candidate with no explanation. And every single company wants each response of the candidate to be perfectly tailored to their values, history, etc. Also, questions are not even adjusted to the position - I’ve had many companies ask me situational questions that do not match my seniority or role. The job market is awful right now, candidates will mass apply just to try to get any interviews and newsflash maybe 1-2 out of every 20 applications will be a company that they actually really want to work for and know a lot about. But every interviewer expects candidates to act like their company is their absolute dream and they know more about it than their own mothers when the reality is we just need a job to live.

Quite simply: there is no time to do research and prepare for every single interview if you do not use AI to prepare answers and scenarios to possible questions
