Do you get the impression that these are real humans lying to try and get the job themselves? Or is it just spam from vendor agencies conjuring hypothetical candidates that they in turn will need to find, taking a cut in the process.

It's really hard to say. Generative AI can pump out unlimited resumes and fake human data to make everything look real. I don't know of a service that screens candidates or vets them to make sure they an actual human. It's kinda tinfoil hat to think hiring agencies are flooding the market with fake, so that people like me will just give up; but.. i mean... maybe?

I dont see how that could work. Spamming with ai generated resumes are easy enough but finding a candidate who would accept their offer to just lie and go through with it serms impossible and never heard of. I dont know how these applying process works exactly so is it possible that the service is automatically applying for people based on their relevance? Just a guess tho.
