The Lede
Over the past couple of years, job seekers have been forced to contend with incessant layoffs, a brutal recruitment market, and days of unpaid assignments. They can now add AI recruiting systems to that pile.
Key Details
- The emerging AI-versus-AI recruitment battle is bad news for everyone. It turns hiring into a depersonalized process, it inundates hiring managers, and it reinforces weaknesses in the system it's designed to improve.
- We know AI isn't perfect, but we have to use it as there's pressure from the higher-ups.
- Recruiters and researchers also worry about AI's tendency to reinforce many of the recruitment industry's existing biases.
