In what world would this be a net positive for employees?

[vunderba]

In the same world where algorithmic HFT could be nerfed by charging a token transaction fee - this would likely kill 99% of automated resume application systems... assuming that it could be implemented fairly/properly which is by no means a certainty.

If it guaranteed that you got a phone screen, I imagine a lot of SWEs would take that deal.

[dave4420]

But then it means the only people who apply will be the sort of people who tend not to even get phone screens… is that really who you want to be spending your time interviewing?

[Juliate]

Given how poor an experience most phone screens are… not going to pay for that, ever.

The “AI generated resume shotgun applied to every company that uses AI to parse the resume” pipeline could be broken. Separate the wheat from the chaff

[lbhdc]

I would totally pay for this if there were a real advantage (fewer applicants, guaranteed face to face screening, etc).

And if it got refunded if not getting the job.
