As firms increasingly rely on artificial intelligence-driven hiring platforms, many highly qualified candidates are finding themselves on the cutting room floor.
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.
This. I’m lucky if I get an email saying I didn’t get the job.
Another thing I hate: those “personality tests”. Given the option, most of my answers to those questions would be “it depends on the situation”. (After all, there are several different variables to consider, variables that the scenarios those “tests” they give us don’t cover, that I would actually need to consider if I were in the situation described in the scenario.) But that’s not an option, so I’m forced to pick something that I don’t really believe is right.
(They are testing for people who can make decisions with incomplete information).
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).
