> Personality and behavior assessments. Automate everything. chatbots to save recruiting.

Literally every one of those things I would dismiss a company for using.

During my last job search I even politely called out a couple of companies for using them. I did get a nice response that could be summed up as: "yeah we figured someone would say they are bullshit and we agree"

I did get interviews with those companies but declined

It's not like having a bad date, it's them fucking up even asking you out on a date

Now not politely I would say that assessments and personality tests and all the other BS thrown an applicants way are stupid, easily game, a downright waste of everyones time and give an immediate indicator the company sucks. The person that thought it was a good idea at the company should be replaced.

Ideally candidates should be able to toss an assessment back to the person doing the hiring to take on the companies behalf

What's good for the goose after all
