AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants
As firms increasingly rely on artificial intelligence-driven hiring platforms, many highly qualified candidates are finding themselves on the cutting room floor.
an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed "baseball" or "basketball" – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned "softball" – typically women – were downgraded.
Marginalised groups often "fall through the cracks, because they have different hobbies, they went to different schools"

I don't really get why people are up in arms at this stuff. I hate the idea of doing these type of interviews, sure. But my grad program had 3k applications, 1k video interviews, 300 in person interviews, and only 100 actual roles. How the fuck else do they expect people to handle the sheer size of applications in management/HR roles?

Holding the position that video interviews are fine but pre-recorded video is not is baffling to me
Yeah lol that's because you don't seem to have any empathy for the people you are hiring. Why is it important if you don't care about it? Easy answer is it isn't.

Not just that
it may be unfriendly to some neuro-atypical people. You know that, I know that.
You should do some introspection.

If you are baffled it's not my responsibility to educate you.

The implication that volume of work excuses dehumanizing people and your other comment that "excluding some people is OK, they weren't going to succeed anyway", is clear as day, I'm not going to waste time writing a proof about why you suck.
