I'm a recruiter at a mid sized logistics company, and I want to correct the record on how these tools actually get used. The AI does a first pass. It ranks. Then I read the top fifty resumes myself, and I regularly pull people up from the bottom of the ranking because something in their background catches my eye. The humans decide. Every hire, every rejection letter, a person signs off. What the tool does is turn 900 applications into a readable pile, which means I actually have time to give candidates a real look instead of spending six seconds per resume at midnight. Banning the first pass doesn't give candidates a human. It gives them an exhausted human with no time. That's worse for everyone, including the candidates.
