AI is helping job candidates bypass resume bias and black holes
Despite the desire for equitable hiring practices, humans have biases in every decision they make, and most of the time they don't realize it. Often, hiring managers recommend a candidate because of a personal connection such as alumni groups or an interest in sports, or qualified candidates are not considered because of a gap in employment. A diverse workforce is proven to increase an organization's revenue, but the key challenge is building and retaining that diverse and competitive workforce. It's met with personal bias from an archaic, bias-prone process that relies on resumes. This is one of the most pressing challenges organizations face, because without the right talent, they cease to compete with their products or services.
