Hiring is undergoing a profound revolution!

Hiring is undergoing a profound revolution!



Nearly all Fortune 500 companies now use some form of automation - from robot avatars interviewing job candidates to computers weeding out potential employees by scanning keywords in resumes. More and more companies are using artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to assess possible employees.

 

DeepSense, based in San Francisco and India, helps in hiring managers by scanning people’s social media accounts to surface underlying personality traits. The company says it uses a scientifically based personality test, and it can be done with or without a potential candidate’s knowledge.

 

The practice is part of a general trend of some hiring companies to move away from assessing candidates based on their resumes and skills, towards making hiring decisions based on people’s personalities.

 

Cornell sociology and law professor Ifeoma Ajunwa said that she’s concerned about these tools' potential for bias. Given the large scale of these automatic assements, she believes potentially faulty algorithms could do more damages then one biased human/physical manager and it is time to evaluate on whether the algorithms are fair, transparent and are 100% accuracy.

 

The most interesting thing is after any technology is invented in the US, it directly gets tested in India. So are we supposed to be concerned here?
