Nearly 40 percent of job seekers are walking away. They are abandoning the hiring process to avoid talking to software. The interview is no longer a conversation between two people. It is a data extraction event.

Companies are using these tools to strip away the human element. They want to eliminate the cost of human error. They want a metric that treats people like components in a machine. The replacement of human judgment is happening.

The features of this decay are clear.

• The death of eye contact.
• The reduction of personality to data points.
• The automation of rejection.
• The removal of human empathy from the room.
