Now that I'm between jobs, I got rejected in 12 hours last month. ;-) I'm pretty sure it was "keyword scan bot". I'm currently using Indeed and LinkedIn. They both seem to have similar listing. -- On 2024-12-16 17:47, Howard Gibson via talk wrote:

I applied for a position that fit me to a tee on Saturday, hoping to be near the front of the line. It seems I was: I got a rejection letter at 5:30 AM Monday.
I suspect there were no humans involved, unless Glassdoor has an India office (they're don't list one, and they're based in California).
David,
A couple of years ago, I applied to a job ad asking for "CAD Ninja". I am a mechanical designer. I got a response and we bounced emails back and forth. At some point, he warned me that they were paying $40-50K. I replied to him stating that "CAD Ninjas" don't work for that kind of money. I diplomatically pointed out that with 3D parametric CAD like SolidWorks, there are fifteen ways to do anything, twelve of which are wrong. My undiplomatic rant is that 3D CAD is not the least bit idiot resistant. Don't hire idiots. Maybe your guy will be smart enough to turn the computer on somehow. A few months later, he replied and I got an interview. It appears that their "CAD Ninja" was not working out. I did not get the job.
In my most recent job search, Indeed.com got most of my interviews.
