I mean I did the same when I was applying for grad jobs... if they used HireVue then I'd just send an email withdrawing my candidacy and explaining why.
It's just that they took the fact that people would rather spend a couple of extra months unemployed while jobhunting than engaging with shitty processes and systems, and didn't specify that it's only temporary unemployment. That's pretty standard for a headline, they're all clickbait by design, but this one definitely stays on the reasonable side.
That is not a fact, and the article does not bear that out either.
Jobseekers skip AI interviews in favor of real interviews. Nowhere does it say they'd rather twiddle their thumbs than conduct an AI interview.
The article goes into nuances, but ultimately it still sucks:
What a false dichotomy.
Well of course he'd say that.
This jobseeker puts it best:
“Job seekers would rather stay unemployed than interview with a company that has obvious red flags”.
This sounds a little better.
