AI Hiring Systems Raise Concerns Over Fairness and Human Connection
-
Job applicants are increasingly being interviewed by AI systems like "Jaime" that cut them off and don't allow natural conversation. This can be an "unnatural" and "demoralizing" experience.
-
Some applicants are using AI tools to create tailored resumes and cover letters to try to game these systems. But employers are getting wise to these tactics.
-
AI interviewers and resume screening systems encode human biases around race, gender, and class. Marginalized groups may bear the brunt of automated hiring processes.
-
Services like "Final Round AI" listen to interview questions in real-time and propose responses, allowing applicants to essentially use AI-powered "cheat sheets."
-
Low-level applicants rather than executives will likely face the most AI interviews and screening. The technology threatens to further disadvantage those seeking precarious work.
