    I’m on the side that hires. It’s ugly over here as well. We still do resumes and I screen manually - yes I actually read them because I don’t even trust HR to screen forget about AI. We get 300+ resumes for an opening and every one of them is a person with a story. At the end of the process I will have one very happy person, 5 feeling they were so close, and ~290 thinking nobody read their stuff.

      Wow. Thats just crazy.

      Makes me think there’s too many people for the jobs we have. I think we need ubi. Those who want to work to make extra can. But I bet if we had ubi you’d have 20 applicants instead of 300.
