> The creators of these AI tools say the benefit is that it allows companies to hear from virtually everyone who applies for a certain role instead of just a small subset

If the LLM conducted the interview on your behalf you did not ‘hear from’ them. The LLM did.

Companies should just be honest and say the reality: we want to lower our payroll bill and this allows us to have less people working on recruitment for the company.

Yeah I tend to agree. Dystopian. But, when I open a SWE JD, I get about 800 applications. Stack ranking those maybe 100 seem pretty qualified, and 20 seem really qualified and is all I have time for with 30 min hiring manager screens. As I start going down the list, each applicant is probably subjectively worse and worse, but I bet there are lots of candidates I would love and are largely fungible from a skill set perspective, but there’s not enough time in the day to 30 minute screen interview all 100 that seem to fit the requirements. I would love a way to talk to all 100 and make a ranking rather than just subjectively stack ranking and working my way down the list based on resume alone.
