ASSESSMENT
Issue #412
1 Sep 2024
Talking about Reddit, this submission from r/Chaiplotting went viral last week. The user had built a bot ‘LinkedIn AI-Hawk’, which scraped job description data from job adverts and used AI to tailor applications to it. Comments are worth a reading - lot of push back directly on the post - but its all moot because we’ve crossed the rubicon on AI-enabled mass apply. Our current hiring funnel needs either a) AI assessment vs AI apply, b) abandonment of advertising or c) some sort of radical process redesign which presumes candidate use of AI. H/T to brainfooder Missy Lafferty in the online community.
