TLDR: AI caused a lot more job posts, but no more jobs!
While the intervention did save employers time, the welfare loss to jobseekers from time wasted on applications is 6x the size of the welfare gain to employers. Suggests widespread use of LLMs can harm market efficiency.
After the experiment, the market rolled out the tool to 95% of new employers. A difference in difference analysis suggests results hold or get worse as more of market is exposed to AI.
Here, you can see that in the control group, job posts where the employer spent almost no time writing receive fewer applications. However, in the treatment group, job posts where employers spent 0-2 minutes writing the job post get *more applications*!
The AI appeared to dilute signals of employer seriousness: here we show that in the control group, the time an employer spent writing a job post is correlated with how long the job post is. In the treatment group, this relationship is much weaker.
