"We" as in "industry in general" or "we" as in "HR at my company"? Although, I'd be more interested in what Microsoft does.

My initial comment was tongue in cheek (but transparent enough I think, given the context). So, let's be clear. I questioned whether it's still true that it's people who are doing all the HR work at Microsoft without LLM assistance.

You, probably, talk about something else.

Things change fast nowadays. Microsoft has access to the latest models. Using AI to screen employees is controversial enough to keep it hush-hush. There's no principled reasons that they can't extract useful training data even with the presence of biases.
