This isn’t even a new thing. They just attached “AI” as a tagline for attention.

They’ve been using computers to automate going through resumes for eons at this point.

I don't even really like people using AI to describe LLMs, it's not really an AI. It has no agency, it's basically a really complex copy and paste machine.

Ask Jeeves was better.

AI doesn't require agency. It just needs to show some intelligence in some areas.

It could be new. I'm sure there are loads of new start ups offering shitty 'AI' powered solutions that crappy c-suites are switching to because of buzzwords.
