Hi Mason, we name several HR vendors using AI chatbots for this very purpose. Including Linkedin -- the world's largest recruiting platform. We also test GPT-4 and provide the results in the methodology. The paywall is gone, so I hope you'll give it another read: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Just going to drop this here! Happy to run a workshop for you students :) https://inspectelement.org/apis.html

Finding Undocumented APIs

Introduction, case studies, and exercises for finding and using undocumented APIs hidden in plain sight.

Why does GPT rank equally-qualified resumes differently based on names? Looking at how GPT represents the 800 names in our experiment as embeddings provides a clue. bloom.bg/3It4cE4

Amazing/disturbing data journalism by Leon Yin and colleagues at Bloomberg replicating a classic labor market discrimination study to show how GPT 3.5 can discriminate in ranking job candidates based on name alone www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...github.com/BloombergGra...

Lastly, we’re not at all ignorant of the literature, especially MB2004! We cite the literature frequently, going so far as attributing the experimental design to the literature.

OpenAI’s GPT Is a Recruiter’s Dream Tool. Tests Show There’s Racial Bias

Recruiters are eager to use generative AI, but a Bloomberg experiment found bias against job candidates based on their names alone

Studying or litigating on hiring discrimination is notoriously difficult because applicants can’t see how others were treated for the same job, let alone how that decision was made.

Hi Emma thanks for your comments! We considered benchmarks but there really isn’t a good 1:1 comparison. MB2004 and others are from field experiments from multiple employers and positions. We only ever scope our work with four jobs and describe what we observed.

New: Employers and HR vendors are using AI chatbots to interview and screen job applicants. We found that OpenAI's GPT discriminates against names based on race and gender when ranking resumes. W/ @davey.bsky.social@leonardonclt.bsky.socialbloom.bg/3It4cE4
