Is a bot-generated rejection actually worse than a ghosting? I asked for feedback after a final round and the recruiter sent me a link to an AI chatbot that simulated why I wasn't a fit. It gave me a generic list of my weaknesses based on my transcript, most of which were just times I paused to think. It was really odd and felt like a new low in my job hunt.

A recruiter pointing you to a bot to tell you why you were rejected. Damn, that's some next level cold.

That is odd… But I guess it’s better than not knowing. At least for me I would want to know.

you will never know even if they do give you a feedback — they don’t tell the truth

What feedback are you looking for? You just want them to confirm that they have gone with another applicant? Or you actually want them to tell you exactly why they didn’t pick you?

I genuinely can’t comprehend what could possibly go through the head of anyone involved in implementing something like this, to think that it is a good idea…

Should I:

- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
