Here’s a spiel we all know well: It’s hard getting work. Recruiters are often dead ends, and you have to do something creative—sometimes something crazy—to prove your value or simply to be seen at all.

Copywriter Elizabeth Nieves just moved to Chicago. She’s been talking to recruiters, to no avail. And she’s tired of repeating herself. So she’s outsourced the job … to a Facebook Messenger Bot.

HireEliBot‘s job is to manage all that interview repetition for her, while hopefully attracting a pool of newly interested recruiters.

“Bots are getting more popular every day, so I thought that if I used one to promote myself, it would show I’m up to date with where technology, brands and creativity are,” Nieves tells AdFreak.
