You May Have to Pay to Apply for Jobs, Thanks to A.I.

Some companies have been so swamped with A.I.-generated applications that hiring managers are looking for a way to separate the humans from the machines.

About 20% of companies say they’ve considered a pay-to-apply system, and nearly 90% of them say they’re likely to adopt it at some point.

The idea is that they might start requiring an APPLICATION FEE, like some colleges have. This way, they can reduce the clutter . . . and filter the human-made résumés from the stacks of A.I.-generated ones.

There aren’t any details on how this would work, but someone has suggested applicants pay $10 to submit their résumé.

On one hand, this would be frustrating for desperate people who spend their entire day applying for jobs . . . and don’t have extra cash to send over with every application, just to be considered.

But on the other hand, maybe this could give you a LEG UP on getting eyeballs on YOUR application. And show that you DO really want it.
