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”

      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.

                  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.
