Yes, obviously. What a ridiculous question when computers have been making hiring decisions since the late 1990s.

In the US, at least, nearly all corporations digitized around the late nineties while buying into personality test nonsense.

At this time the screening was more simple than it was today, keyword searches and yes/no personality decisions that eliminated over 90% of applicants.

Now with LLMs they can eliminate nearly all applicants, giving them more legal justification to request visas or outsource.
