They won't, though. Because these are cost-saving tools for multi-nationals with enormous capital footprints.
McDonalds isn't going anywhere, no matter how bad their hiring practices get. The only real risk they run is in their poor ability to bring people on quickly resulting in storefronts more vulnerable to unionization or other labor actions. But this is a business that's been vertically integrated for decades and subsists on enormous direct and indirect subsidies from every layer of government. They'll keep being fine unless the political conditions in this country change significantly.
Commenting on the title alone: I thought they were doing that already since the beginning. I don't say that just as someone who's bitter about never being called even for a fucking face-to-face interview, but because I've seen people who actually are great at their work never getting any returns on their applications.
This. I'm lucky if I get an email saying I didn't get the job.
Another thing I hate: those "personality tests". Given the option, most of my answers to those questions would be "it depends on the situation". (After all, there are several different variables to consider, variables that the scenarios those "tests" they give us don't cover, that I would actually need to consider if I were in the situation described in the scenario.) But that's not an option, so I'm forced to pick something that I don't really believe is right.
