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”

    But yeah, Gallup gives their whole 200+ question thing to even entry level positions filled by high school students working part time. I’m getting some heat elsewhere in this thread on a different application tool while Gallup is having applicants sit through an hour of personal questions that I am 100% certain they are not tying to the applicants’’ online identities and selling to Google et al (wink wink).
