Youd be stupid not to at least listen to the rest of the offer, right?
Of course no such system exists.

The fact that most of them are legal doesnt stop them from being snake oil.
Artificial intelligence is not psychic and it cannot predict social outcomes.

That should be common sense.
But we seem to have decided to suspend common sense when AI is involved.
Think about it, have you ever heard of a big business thats never made a single hiring mistake?
These systems work on the same principle as the magic beans fromJack and the Beanstalk.
That means youre being sold onstatisticsup front.
Take HireVue, one of the most popular AI-hiring system vendors in the world.
That sounds pretty fancy, and HireVuesstatistical claimsall seem quite impressive.
But the bottom line is that AI cant do any of those things.
Get excited and share your energy with the camera, letting your personality shine, HireVue advises.
Unless youre being hired to be a TV news anchorperson, this is ridiculous.
HireVues systems, like all AI purported to predict social outcomes, are nothing more than arbitrary discriminators.
Candidates who dont present as neurotypical on camera are excluded.
And candidates who are culturally diverse from the creators of the software are excluded.
So why do CEOs and HR leaders still insist on using AI-powered hiring solutions?
