Use of AI by HR IS discriminatory, as lazy HR allows AI algorithms to decide whether a resume is acceptable or not. Often, a company allows an outside firm to run the algorithm as a service, and so decisions are not made by the company but by the outside vendor totally automatically.
This often results in erroneous rejections. For example, there's a field in which I'm an expert where there aren't a lot of people available to hire. Yet I get rejected by AI resume screeners, very discriminatory, because I have worked for too many companies (rejected as 'job-jumper'!). No human, no HR person ever actually reads the resume. And so a person they need is blocked. How stupid is that?
I just read this, but I need an ELI5. Because usually ADA applicants get hired for the diversity points.
Edit : The first link gives more information, but if you think them through they can be reversed for the diversity hiring points.
