This reminds me of AI-based systems employers will use for proactive recruitment based not on job applications but on an individual's online presence. So here's an article from a few days ago the subject, but the focus is on evaluating applications. That seems inefficient. A better model might be this proposal from Rustamdjan Hakimov and Dorothea Kübler but it's hard to imagine a centralized system working. I assume the Chronicle is talking about something along these lines with an article today titled "Congrats! You Didn't Apply, but We Admitted You Anyway." It's behind a paywall, so I can't read it and won't link to it. But you know, getting an admissions offer in the mail isn't the same as getting a job offer. The latter is an opportunity, the former an advertisement. Spam.
