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’m also selecting for people privileged enough to have a college degree, sometimes even a post grad or doctorate. So yeah, being able to use software that the pandemic made pretty much necessary in this industry and in universities is something I’m ok with filtering on.
Others in this thread have used bank teller as a use case. It probably doesn’t make sense to use this sort of video tool for a bank teller hiring process because 1) tellers don’t work on video, they’re in person and 2) there’s going to be a handful of applicants and they are likely local so an in-person interview is less of a logistics challenge.
