    About 90% of the people I interview have no right to apply for the jobs they do. They lack the basic skills and reasoning required to do the work.

    If even a small number of people start doing this then it’s going to break all the hiring channels and we’ll only be able to hire referrals and friends.

    And if you apply to 5000 posting and get 20 calls, that’s a fucking horrible reply rate, id bet it’s worse than just submitting your actual resume without the AI.

    As for Joseph, though? He eventually received a contract job offer through LazyApply. But he did score some big-deal interviews at Apple and the White House — through existing connections, not the AI.

    What a shit article.
