I'm HR and I support this message. Only thing I would add is that its much worse than that--its not just specialized jobs. Even bad, low wage jobs desperate for labor either a) don't have the HR budget to review and screen the volume of applicants correctly b) have given up on a) and have an AI screening system that sucks and still gives them too many candidates to review and screen with their budget. Hiring managers mostly have even less time than HR.

Blockchain resumes is the only way, but much like Esperanto has a critical mass of institutions and organizations that likely won't be reached.
