# An AI Bot Applied to Jobs While He Slept. He Woke Up to 50 Interviews.

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Automation engineer · via r/GetEmployed

Over the course of a month, the bot reportedly landed around 50 interview calls. The post sparked a fierce ethical debate: is this a clever automation of a broken system, or the logical endpoint of a hiring process that already treats candidates like data points? As one observer put it: when companies use AI to screen candidates, why shouldn't candidates use AI to apply?
