✨💼❓Random-ish question for recruiters, hiring managers, and, well everyone - what are your thoughts about jobs that ask you this: "This employer may use an artificial intelligence algorithm to provide an initial comparison of an applicant’s education, experience, and skills against the education, experience and skill requirements in the job description. This analysis produces a Profile Relevancy score, which is intended to be one of many factors that a potential employer will review in making its interview decisions; there are no cut off scores and all applications are visible to employers. Read more about how these tools collect, store, and retain information and the results of the most recent impartial evaluations. The Profile Relevancy score for applicants who opt out will be listed as “Not Available.”" Is it more beneficial for a job seeker (me!) to opt in or not? Does it negatively impact someone's candidacy if they opt out, OR does it improve your chances of getting that elusive call back if you opt in? All thoughts welcome!

💡Job-seeker Question: When a hiring manager asks, "Are you interviewing elsewhere and with how many other companies?" what is the ideal response they are looking for? Is it better that you are interviewing with 3 other companies and that demonstrates that you're desirable? Or does that make you less desirable because the likelihood of you getting snatched up is greater, so you're shooting yourself in the foot because they will decide, "Bah they'll land somewhere else let's look at other candidates"?
