Now to continue this line of thinking - if HR professionals all go to different colleges / schools / training centers with different curricula and are all taught to value different aspects of an applicant, then if someone passes you up someone else might not. But if a widely used textbook or HR principle is taught to everyone everywhere, you might not get hired anywhere.

I'm not saying I necessarily believe this to he an actual issue, just attempting to point out the parallels I see.

Yeah, it’s not new, it just could accelerate homogenization, as with how social media is (claimed) to be homogenizing culture. Planes, cars, and ships started it, but the internet (allegedly) turbocharges it.
