Employers are ghosting college grads and rescinding offers

I wonder if that is still true for people who outsource their whole application process to AI. When spraying and praying still involved typing out and sending emails yourself, you were very aware of how many applications you had sent out and how few replies you had gotten. But if an agent found the offer and applied for you, you may not even be aware you were ghosted or rejected. Just ask the agent "only tell me when I have an interview".

Which does not change how broken the system is, but hey if it saves someone's mental health I guess that's progress
