They're going to spend billions and you'll still have to manually put in your resume details even after uploading it

Yeah but Brenda from HR's needlessly condescending emails will be a thing of the past.

Sorry we don't all deal with healthcare terminology all day long, Brenda, you snide cunt.

[–] Rayspekt@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

All my homies hate Brenda

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

AI HR hires only white people because it was training with white people data

I remember a case a few years past when something like this stopped a test project, was it the army, because the algorithm only recruited men or something.

I know people complain about this a lot, but I've applied to 80 jobs in the past couple months, and I don't think it's a problem anymore. I think they solved it.

No, you got lucky. I'm on the market too. It varies a lot by platform. Successfactors is the worst I've seen. It never picks up anything from resumes. Workday though is a crapshoot and seems to be based on the company's implementation.

Have you tailored your resume to be ATS parsible?

Yeah, even got a placement service and executive coach to help with resume and professional bio and all that. Word docs work better than pdfs but still have trouble with getting things loaded properly.

When I was hiring I almost never looked at what was in the hris so I've always prioritised the resume document when I applied but getting some help with optimizing it for the systems definitely seems to have helped. Just not with all of them.

Suddenly all sexual harassment complains seem to disappear.

What if AI turns sexist because it's source material is? Like Ultron turning genocidal after being on the web for two minutes.

Love this quote from Iron Man 3.

I sincerely wish them all the worst.

What could possibly go wrong here...

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

You are fired because you criticized AI.

AI HR hires only white people because it was training with white people data

Someone gets promoted without experience because the AI got hacked

[–] kerrypacker@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yep controversy about discrimination in 3, 2, 1....

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

We already use AI quite heavily in HR processes. I assume they're just trying to capitalise on this for companies still slow to it, especially since it's EY.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Like most enterprise "automations", I'm expecting it to require even more manual work from HR employees.
Now alongside with still doing the work the old way, they will also have to input data into the AI to justify millions paid for the new system.

[–] Rayspekt@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So what if I use my own AI to crawl the web for jobs and apply? I guess this would be a big nono lol.

[–] Rayspekt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Haha imagine an AI giving you perfect answers through an earpiece.

Seams like someone saw the last seasons of west world and thought it was a good idea. Fuck me..
