"The truly infuriating part was that I consistently talked to them asking for progress and they always told me that they had some candidates that didn't pass the first screening processes (which was false)."

The real reason they got fired. A typo caused their system to reject all applicants and for 3 months - an honest mistake maybe, yet nobody thought anything was wrong, then lied about having found candidates at all.

I job searched for 8 months with many of my smartest friends with good jobs helping me write resumes and cover letters for each job. I applied to jobs nearly every day, usually having some experience in the field and a relevant college diploma. Even the "urgently hiring" positions that were up for months didnt reply to me.

I ended up getting a job at a local business through word of mouth that they were hiring. When i submitted my resume the team said they didn't even read it. The algorithms and AI used in hiring are probably hurting these companies more than they are helping.
