> it doesn't generate a neat sounding paragraph "explaining" why candidate A is the obvious choice.

Here I will argue that humans do the same thing. For any business of any size recruitment has been pretty awful in recent history. The end user, that is the manager the employee will be hired under is typically a later step after a lot of other filters, some automated some not.

At the end of the day the only way is to measure the results. Do LLMs produce better hiring results than some outside group?

Also, LLMs seem very good at medical pre-diagnosis. If you accurately portray your symptoms to them they come back with a decent list of possible candidates. In barbaric nations like the US where medical care can easily lead to bankruptcy people are going to use it as a filter to determine if they should go in for a visit.
