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”

    If you care about my appearance more than my ability to do the job I wouldn’t want to work with you anyway.

    I literally roll out of bed most mornings without looking in rhe mirror, walk up to my home office and start work. And I’m one of the best employees at my office.
