If tools like this are popular then it sounds like it'll be impossible to switch domains.

Let me disagree and explain myself.

When an HR is using Hiring Method, they are getting a fitness score for all applicants.

In case a backend engineer is seeking frontend roles – yes, the fitness will be low – but it will neither be zero nor will anyone be rejected anyhow automatically. HR will have an option to compare applicants visually and in detailed mode at all times.

I am building Hiring Method to augment people, not to remove them from decision making process.

Yes, and what's scary is that I can easily imagine HR departments loving these tools and using them at scale.
