> dehumanizing screening process that boils you down to a number

That's a very long-winded way to describe a prescreening questionnaire. Are you saying that you think no one should ever take a job if there's a prescreening process?

Especially since a resume and cover letter are also part of the prescreening process. And are also kinda semi dehumanizing and silly.

If they need a job? Probably.

It must work (to some extent), for Amazon to use it. And like mailing spam, the cost to them is near zero.
