Recruiters and Job Seekers Trapped in AI Hiring 'Doom Loop', HR Experts Warn

Employers overwhelmed by nearly identical AI-generated resumes are turning to automated ATS ranking systems to filter candidates, while job seekers increasingly rely on AI to craft applications that can slip through these same filters. The result, according to workplace observer Chait, is an escalating cycle where each side's use of AI to solve its own problem only deepens the other's frustration. Some companies, like Toshiba and Doist, are pushing back by keeping humans in the loop for application review, even as AI creeps into interviews.
