>the role is so cutthroat that you have to ghost most candidates.

There's no "have". We have automated systems and they have a list of contact info. Make a whitelist then blast out a generic message if you have to. But you never "have" to ghost.

>Mostly, unless they were on the payroll of the company they were hiring for, I have just felt they were lazy.

I think that's the biggest thing AI revealed in all of this; most people simply do not care, and now they have a solution to care even less. It's just preying off most people's genuine desire to do the bare minimum, to the detriment of the people around them. It's a vicious cycle.
