How AI can democratize the workplace

How can HR professionals predict the future performance of a candidate? The answer, as always, is to look at past behaviour. The way we continue to define and measure success, however, continues to rely on antiquated indicators, such as an university degree or work experience, presented in an increasingly outdated format: the resume. Research by CareerBuilder shows that most employers spend less than two minutes reading a CV, and even this may be a generous estimate. When a hiring manager has so little time to evaluate whether someone is fit for the role, this leaves little room for a candidate who doesn't tick prescriptive boxes, or who may not have had a conventional education or career journey.
