Sure, resume writting is a skill, but it's probably not relevant for the position unless the position involves a lot of grant writing or enterprise sales.

Ummm.. my point was that before LLMs an utterly unqualified person would not even be able to write a decent CV.

They wouldn't be in the candidate pool because they would fail at step 0.

Now the village idiot can generate a reasonable CV for very complex jobs.

I have seen flawless CV from people who were bad in practice or in the interview. The interview completely changing which person looked the best was not unusual.

Yes, and those dud candidates waste the company precious time and money, as well as wasting the candidate’s time.

If you have to interview more than a handful of candidates to hire for a non-specialist role then something is seriously broken in either your hiring system or hiring for those positions in general.
