AI in Selection of Candidates
summary
Claims and concrete results matter: cognitive testing for air traffic controllers yields a 160% improvement in quality of hire while broadening the pool by a factor of 100; Grant Thornton drops degree requirements and finds formerly “diversity hires” deliver longer tenure and higher billable hours; low‑cost airline trains nontraditional hires into system engineers using aptitude and attitude psychometrics; reports cite Amazon scrapping a biased CV‑trained model and media examples like bookcase camera bias; remember CVs have no predictive value, use validated tests, casual‑game signals and Steam profiles instead.
