Dear Goddess.
As a former freelancer, that's a good reply, may I say! -

@cratermoon yeah, some bullshit about how “when companies pay, candidates become the product”… which, yeah? that’s how employment works. we sell our labor, a product, to an employer who has the budget to pay for labor. like, come on

@davidcelis Running that company in my jurisdiction would be a crime. Charging for job placement, matching, or application submission are illegal here, as are tying any paid resumé writing or training package to application or to helping a candidate apply. Perhaps such laws ought to be replicated elsewhere.

@davidcelis One step away from paying in scrip - And they'd do that if they could too.

@davidcelis way back before my current job, out of desperation i tried signing up to an early incarnation of this idea
and from that experience my conclusion is still: when candidates pay, congratulations on completely removing the incentive to provide a product at all
the recruiting model only works because their paying customer is one that comes back when the recruiter does a good job; in this model, the paying customer only comes back when the recruiter fails -

@reijomancer @davidcelis You already got funded for £3 trillion by a hundred AI bots!

@deFractal @davidcelis where's that, if I may ask?

@deFractal @davidcelis Is it yet illegal to require an LLM be used to generate a resume?
There was a recent study where over 90% of job applications were rejected by company LLMs if they were not written by an LLM.
At that level any company with a non-human LLM as the first reviewer is already requiring a resume writing service be used.

Yeah I kind of hate this timeline.

@davidcelis haha good luck with that. People aren't going to pay.

@davidcelis @cratermoon This reminds me of some job board that advertised itself as helping developers get the best paying jobs or some-such by matching relevant keywords (before the current AI and applicant tools). Submitted my resume and got told "You're not very popular with our jobs; it may help to say you know Python"

@davidcelis Just like rental agencies where renters have to pay the realtor fees. Absolutely psychopathic/capitalist behavior. Great reply.

Not only are you paying these fucking sociopaths, you’re actually paying to be handled by an AI agent.
I hate the stupid cruelty of this timeline.

@davidcelis Employers can deduct hiring expenses from their taxes.
Can those seeing jobs deduct their costs? (And, if so, from what income - people seeking jobs sometimes don't have any income from which they can make a deduction.)
