If I know there is no human in the loop in my hiring process, I will not apply.

However I am an (ostensibly) privileged software engineer. This article says that this will be used for the holiday rush. Contract/warehouse workers are often the most oppressed working class. It’s sad that this can be forced upon them.

My brother's cousin says anytime someone is hiring for this type of work (warehouse, stocking, other retail) and really needs people during a holiday rush, the interview is often nothing more than gathering data used to verify work eligibility, maybe a background check, maybe paperwork for you to get a drug test, and confirming you're available at the hours they need. In her opinion, she says it seems like its something they honestly could replace with an app and it wouldn't even really need AI at all.

A good lawyer could probably turn this int a class action mill just by a little coach prepping and a few key words

There is nothing more dismal than going through an application process when they've already decided not to hire you. I've seen managers do this, and I've been interviewed and realized partway through they've already decided who they're actually going to hire (and it's not me).

I like the idea of being able to do interview calls at 8pm, but I'm scared they will just spam these to everyone and I'll spend countless evenings "interviewing" for jobs I'll never get instead of meeting with people I care about.
