    AI shouldn’t be involved in hiring at all. How hard is it to look at a resume?

    All the biggest companies have massive HR departments and tons of recruiters already. AI shouldn’t be making huge life-changing decisions for human beings.

      Any open position immediately gets a massive influx of resumes. Usually these are bullshit that get auto submitted by bots and, for the most part, can be discarded. But something has to do the work of separating the wheat from the chaff, and this is basically the perfect use case for a trained model.

        Hell no, speaking as someone who has actually done a lot of hiring. It is very easy to find the top 20 candidates or so based on CVs. The hard part is actually sorting those folks out, which AI cannot do.

        AI offers an unknowable bias and unbounded potentoal for discrimination without consequences. this rubber stamp from NYC is a disaster for civil rights.

        AI should not be touching these sort of decisions , all agorithims need to be fully auditable and replicable
