    Love2be in an arms race not even with fellow prospective workers, but with the process of getting a job. It’s like another little example of “data-driven optimization” actually just optimizing for the metrics instead of the actual goal. You’re gonna get the workers who are best at navigating the insane, byzantine, dehumanizing application process, which might have essentially no overlap with the job. But then maybe they do want to screen out people who have enough self-respect (and alternatives) not to put up with being given the runaround and treated with utterly no regard. Human resources and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
