Got Rejected In 3 Minutes: Applicant Allegedly Receives Instant Rejection Email From Bot
A job applicant in the UK has stirred uproar online after receiving an automatic rejection email from National Grid only three minutes after submitting their application.?
What happened with a job application that upset him?
The candidate, who posted their experience on Reddit, stated that they spent a significant amount of time designing a cover letter for the role. They then received an initial email confirmation from National Grid, thanking them for their interest and noting that applications would be assessed within 14 days.?
However, only three minutes later, they received a follow-up email alerting them that their application had failed.
Why did the man get rejected??
The user posted a screenshot of the trail email with the comment, "Got denied 3 minutes after applying for a role. I spent a couple hours crafting a cover letter, which was automatically rejected by a bot. I enjoy the current job market in the United Kingdom."?
The tragedy has highlighted the growing reliance on automated screening technologies in job hiring.?
How did people on the internet react?
The automated response elicited a flood of responses from social media users.
"Yes, I did this on a website for a local mine." I spent 35 minutes joining up and uploading my r¨¦sum¨¦, but the website did something strange, which I had to manually fix. Then I clicked submit, and I immediately received an email stating that you were not a suitable fit. It was a forklift/operator position, and I have over 15 years experience.
"I was a little mad," a user said."This is AI (automatic) resume screening at work. They're looking for certain needs or keywords. If the software detects that you do not match the requirements, it will automatically delete your app. A human never looks at it."?
Another person commented, "It's basically like this at all major companies now."?
