Has anybody been recruited "automatically"?

It's (almost) always a pipeline, but I've never seen it fully automated. I would never take even the first step without having an actual person to talk to.
I've had multiple responses asking to take a test before any call or interview. A fair bit, actually. Only agreed to it once and won't do it again either, but in this economy, it wouldn't surprise me if desperation drove people to just do it.
I skipped the test portion with the last interview I did because I told them I didn't wanna do it. But I suspect we may be at different points in our careers with different trajectories.
