So I’m filling out this job application and get to the part where it says:
“This company seeks to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to accelerate the creation of insights on your application by identifying relevant skills, experiences, and qualifications.
Your decision is voluntary… Regardless of your decision, job applications will be evaluated by a human being.”
Wait… WHAT?
Let me get this straight:
- They want to use AI to analyze me ✅
- But promise humans still decide ✅
- And my consent is… optional? ✅
So basically: “We’ll let a robot read your résumé, but don’t worry, a human will eventually tell you yes or no. Maybe.”
I took a screenshot because this is classic WTF Hiring material — optional AI, mandatory humans, confusing corporate language, and a little bit of comedy all in one.
Seen a weirder job application rule? Share it with us and join the WTF Hiring club. AI-powered opinions welcome. 😉
Thanks!
