ADP is showing this on all hr applications now- I've encountered it a few times and always hesitate before choosing. I don't want my resume to go even further down the vortex and feed an AI model but maybe opting out just eliminates you altogether from consideration.
Have you seen this before? How have you handled it?

This employer may use an artificial intelligence algorithm to provide an initial comparison of an applicant's education, experience, and skills against the education, experience and skill requirements in the job description. This analysis produces a Profile Relevancy score, which is intended to be one of many factors that a potential employer will review in making its interview decisions; there are no cut off scores and all applications are visible to employers. Read more about how these tools collect, store, and retain information and the results of the most recent impartial evaluations. The Profile Relevancy score for applicants who opt out will be listed as "Not Available."
(Checkbox) I want to opt out from having my resume reviewed by artificial intelligence as part of the application process. ]
And while this may be limited to resume analysis, by checking the box you and likely thousands of others are saying, "I don't need a human HR representative." Even though the human ones aren't necessarily on your side they still have emotions and that does work in your favor at times. AI HR not only eliminates jobs but it literally takes the human out of "Human Resources".
Companies will push this shit to the max until it affects their bottom line. Labor is a big expense for companies and they'd accept a really shitty alternative just to save money. The only things that could stave this off are massive revolts from workers and consumers.
Some human ones are also just actively really bad at it. As both a manager and applicant, I've seen they can hinder hiring good candidates.
I've witnessed HR block exceptionally talented candidates because they believe they aren't a good fit for the company culture...I'm in IT no one's cares about the culture when critical infrastructure goes down and HR has zero clue about our culture in IT.
