When I was headhunted for my current job, I asked him how he found me. The agent then told me that they had an AI system for finding and comparing candidates. He then reassured me that I was well qualified for the job he was pitching to me. So, I took the job, and I've never been happier!

Now, I wouldn't call my formal qualifications exceptional for the tasks I'm doing right now. You both need intimate tech knowledge and organizational skills, on top of some very specific knowledge about systems, algorithms, and AI. The width of tech you need to know for this job is kind of extreme, and IMHO that's not easy to read from my formal resume which mostly shows a background from teaching.

I do however have a personal tech blog and some projects on GitHub. I wonder how well their AI tracks such extraneous links, because if I was a tech company I'd first and foremost want to know specifics about what I know, how I apply that knowledge, and how easily I am able to learn and pick up new technologies. I think an AI is the perfect tool to automate such an analysis, so I'm wondering if that's what they did.

I guess opening Pandoras box would be to also employ forensic text fingerprinting to find other projects from the same author under various pseudonyms.
