Here's how people reacted:
An individual wrote, "Yeah, I did this at a website for a local mine. I spent 35 minutes signing up and uploading my resume. The website did something weird, and I had to fix it manually. Then, I hit submit and instantly got an email that said you are not a good fit. It was a forklift/operator job, and I have 15+ years of experience. Was a little mad."
A second said, "This is AI (or automated)* resume checking at work. They have specific requirements or keywords they are looking for. If the software determines you don't meet it, it automatically junks your app. A human never even looks at it. It's basically this way at all major companies now."

"I applied at a place once in August. Never heard back. Then, randomly, in mid-November, I got a text saying something along the lines of '"Please confirm you're available to work your shift on Monday at 8'". I was so confused. No interview, no confirmation, just suddenly 'Hey, you're working,'" commented a third.
A fourth said, "Hey, at least they told you right away and didn't ghost you for weeks, keeping you wondering."
