Why do over 80% of companies still hire the wrong candidates despite using AI and advanced recruitment tools?

Which is followed by a possible job offer

Which is followed by inviting 2–3 for interviews

Recruiting tools are used to screen resumes.

Why does having a college degree no longer carry the same prestige as before? People don't have the same respect for the educated.

Which is followed by calling 5–10 candidates for a first evaluation

The tools may miss some possible candidates, but if they screw up whom they hire, they can only blame the interviewers and the hiring manager.
