"Job hunters whose applications are being rapidly knocked back are airing their
frustration as experts warn of the discriminatory risks of relying too heavily
on AI for hiring.
In a LinkedIn post last week, Victoria-based human resources professional
Leighan Morrell said that after being rejected within two hours of applying for
a job, she suspected the company involved was using AI in its hiring process.
“I am absolutely shocked and baffled,” she said. “I applied for the role at
1.13pm today, it is now 3.17pm, and I have just been rejected from the role.
How can a recruiter review my application along with all the others and reject
me within two hours?”
Morrell said her experience matched the job description “to a tee” and that it
was obvious the business was using AI.
“In fact, I have more experience that the role required,” she said in the post.
“I think it took me longer to write the application than it did for them to
reject me. It is my new record for a rejection, previously it was five hours.”"
