How do I evaluate an AI hiring tool? -- Talent Metrics, LLC

Note: Thanks to Dr. Vivian Woo and Dr. Daniel Meltzer for their helpful feedback AI has been a hot topic in business over the last few years. The automation movement has been changing how we shop, work, and live our day-to-day lives, from self-checkout lanes to new phone apps. AI and automation also affect our hiring practices. In the human capital management world, AI/automation has become the topic du jour of many conferences and a variety of newspaper articles. Some recent Washington Post articles about the use of AI in hiring have caught the attention of many in the HR world, who may not be aware of how automated hiring practices are being implemented in organizations. The first article is about assessing nanny personality and fitness for hire based on social media posts and the second is a post about AI-based video interviewing tools that uses facial scanning technology to make determinations about a candidate's fitness to be hired.
