>>508494447I've only been on the panel for one recruitment activity, but it was incredible how susceptible the others (the chief engineer and an HR girl) were to jeeted resumes. They would have pages of confident-sounding ESL gibberish (one very clearly written by an early AI), and that would be enough for them to be worth an interview.
Most of them weren't even in our field, they were in a completely different field that's coincidentally called the same thing by IT companies. But the others didn't believe me, because the ESL was so thick that they tried to brush it off as a "language barrier" which somehow excuses them.
Thankfully they realised their mistake after bringing one of the jeets to an interview, where he spent 30+ minutes rambling non-stop in utter nonsense that had nothing to do with the questions.
The most shocking moment for me was when we looked at a resume for someone who wanted to be promoted into the role. He seemed like a pretty solid candidate, but then the HR girl said "He's worked at [COMPANY] for the last 15 years, I just don't think that experience is really relevant to the position".
She shut up really quick when the chief engineer said "That's here. He works here."
