This is such a great idea. I have an idea now for a bot that might help make tech hiring less horrible. It would interview a candidate to find out more about them personally/professionally. Then it would go out and find job listings, and rate them based on candidate's choices. Then it could apply to jobs, and send a link to the candidate's profile in the job application, which a company could process with the same bot. In this way, both company and candidate could select for each other based on their personal and professional preferences and criteria. This could be entirely self-hosted open-source on both sides. It's entirely opt-in from the candidate side, but I think everyone would opt-in, because you want the company to have better signal about you than just a resume (I think resumes are a horrible way to find candidates).
If the bot could also take care of any unpaid labour the interview process is asking for, that'd be swell. The company's bot can pull a ticket from the queue, the candidate's bot could process it, and the HR bot could approve or deny the hire based on hidden biases in the training data and/or prompt injections by the candidate.
Triplebyte was a thing for a little while, maybe it's time for it to live again.

Almost every job application has its own UI style. Without training the bot on many different job sites, not sure how it can apply to all those jobs.
It uses ARIA labels? If they're not present then it sends a message to a lawyer agent to start a case with a judge agent to sue for breaches of disability a11y legislation.
How would this prevent the spammers/fakers/overseas from saturating this channel as well?
