    This is most likely fake.

    If this was automated, a company automating rejection emails would never write the reason for rejection. It would be a vague excuse like “not a good fit for the role”.

    If this was not automated, then no recruiter would be this stupid.

    If you’re in the US and can afford it, Talk to a lawyer.

    This is blatant discrimination of a immutable attribute which is a Civil Rights violation.

    This is written evidence to that fact.

      This is why I assume this must be fake. Because even a trainee HR employee would look at that email, and not send it out.

        Assuming they’re checking the emails at all.

        Remember when that guy decided to read a book while his Tesla was doing basic lane following, and merged into a semi? I 'member.

      Now I’m imagining someone legitimately putting their Jan6 involvement on a resume.

      Window Structural Integrity Tester (Jan 6th, 2021): Responsibilities included - unconventional team-building activities, conditioning, navigating unfamiliar territory, and breaking down barriers.

        Nah, it’d probably be more like:

        Security Field Tester (Jan 6, 2021): Part of a group that organized a large-scale “peaceful march” in order to thoroughly check security protocols for the Capitol building. Duties included attempts at theft to see if we’d be stopped, testing window durability by attempting to break them, engaging physically with security staff in riot gear to test security training, and shouting terroristic threats in order to see how secure government protocols were in the event of a riot at a governmental building.

    What always ticks me off beyond reason in mails like these is the “we genuinely appreciate your time and effort in…”

    Fuck. You. With. An. Umbrella.

    You don’t appreciate shit, you’re full of shit, yet you’re too shit to even just say what you really want to say: fuck you, we don’t give a damn. Because being actually honest might also be bad and cost money.

    Companies like there are the worse and should all burn in hell

    Under GDPR you have a right for your application to be reviewed by a human rather than an automated rejection. Is there something like that in the country maybe?

        You could’ve done a simple search, or even write your comment in a way where you don’t state it as a fact but instead you’re now blatantly wrong.

    I fucking despise the fact that AI almost exclusively is responsible for throwing out 99% of all resumes before they reach a human being

      The problem isn’t AI the problem is brainless humans who configured the AI.

      AI isn’t going to become skynet and take over the world unless someone tells it to. In which case the human is the problem.

    I would spam them with even more “inappropriate” but equally plausible applications out of sheer pettiness and the vain hope that a real person would see it and realize that using AI to screen job applications is an awful idea.
