Article commentary
The AI doom loop highlights a fundamental market failure: technology is amplifying, not solving, the mismatch between job seekers and employers. While Greenhouse's attempts to reintroduce scarcity and friction are creative, they address symptoms rather than root causes. The sheer volume of applicants relative to openings—especially for entry-level roles—remains a structural problem that no single platform can fix.
