As firms increasingly rely on artificial intelligence-driven hiring platforms, many highly qualified candidates are finding themselves on the cutting room floor.

an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed “baseball” or “basketball” – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned “softball” – typically women – were downgraded.

Marginalised groups often “fall through the cracks, because they have different hobbies, they went to different schools”

    By that logic, in-person interviews should also be illegal.

    I go back to my comment somewhere in this thread about some symphony orchestras doing double blind auditions. If that is your position, then your issue is with general hiring practices, not with this video submissions in particular.
