an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed “baseball” or “basketball” – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned “softball” – typically women – were downgraded.
Marginalised groups often “fall through the cracks, because they have different hobbies, they went to different schools”
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.”
