A team at Google DeepMind is encouraging job candidates to fill out a special form alongside their application to ensure they are not screened out by the company’s internal AI systems.
“Filling out this form makes sure that a real human on the team will get to see your application.”
A Google DeepMind spokesperson told Bloomberg that the company aims to hire the “most qualified talent” and denied that its systems were filtering out candidates.
“This team set up a special form to go past the recruiter review, and get their resumes direct to the people on the team.
Meanwhile, a study by CV-Library earlier this year found that increased use of AI in recruitment processes could be causing employers to overlook strong candidates.
