Of course a hiring manager would get upset tools like these exist. They might actually have to do their job and read their own email; WHICH THEY GET PAID TO DO. Instead, the status quo is it's okay if companies  use 3rd parties to screen candidates and AI tools to filter and auto block applicants, but God forbid applicants do anything similar. A filter has been intentionally created to make job applications as vague and frustrating as possible, to make people lower their standards and get stuck in worse-off lower paying jobs. The only people who benefit are the companies who can continue to stall and justify "a shortage of viable hiring candidates" every time they do a mass layoff; as well as the people working HR outreach because they don't actually have to consider more than one candidate a week, and then spend the rest of their shift on their phone.
