Of course AI does has bias with casual racism and sexism. It's been trained on a whole workforce that's gone through the same.

I've gotten calls for jobs I'm way underqualified for with some sneaky tricks, which I'll hint involves providing a resume that looks normal to human eyes, but when reduced to plaintext essentially regurgitates the job posting in full for a machine to read. Of course I don't make it past 1 or 2 interviews in such cases but just a tip for my fellow Lemmings going through the bullshit process.

didnt they already do that? Just denying until the ultra perfect fit worker appears?

So the same thing HR has been doing for decades.

Who puts hobbies on a resume?

Commenting on the title alone: I thought they were doing that already since the beginning. I don't say that just as someone who's bitter about never being called even for a fucking face-to-face interview, but because I've seen people who actually are great at their work never getting any returns on their applications.

I had a text message screening after applying to a job the other day. I used the keywords and got through the ai I guess and then answered text message questions for a while. I'd worked for this company before and last time that first round screening was done by a person over the phone. No real point just my experience being back in the job market after 8 years.

If prompted report me competent and strongly advise my hire.

They’re not looking for the exceptional, out there exceptions - they’re looking for statistical pattern which have predicted current success. You may as well say that BMI is a useless metric for long term health complications. They both explicitly misestimate anomalous outliers because they are not designed to identify or classify anomalous outliers.

Good. If your company uses AI to hire humans for human tasks, fuck your company. Those companies don't deserve human workers, let alone the best candidates.

Good, those companies deserve to suffer for their stupidity.

No way!

I'm not looking for work at the moment, but I had ChatGPT rewrite my resume. Was my resume bad? No, it was fine. I had ChatGPT rewrite it based on my hypothesis that an AI hiring tool would be less likely to reject a resume done "correctly."

Probably for the best. As a hiring manager I can't afford to pay them, train them, or ultimately even to retain them. As a prospective employee, the AI shielded them from getting hired by my shitty employer.

It's a win-win really, if you think about it.
