Have you ever been in a situation where this was the case? The only time I've come close, the business was a dog.

I was just involved in the hiring process for a new rec on a team adjacent to mine, and the HR/screening process was a complete mystery as to candidate filtering for outside applicants. So many AI tools making arbitrary judgments from resume content to psychological profiles of candidates, led us to 0 organic people “qualified” enough to interview for an SRE/Devops role. All we hire now is referrals as they are the only ones to get pass automated screening

Do you have any ability to give feedback to HR on that?

They should be made to know that this is choking out the business' ability to be competitive.
