👻 Job boards are still rife with 'ghost jobs'. What's the point? - BBC
「 More than 40% of hiring managers said they list jobs they aren't actively trying to fill to give the impression that the company is growing. A similar share said the job listings are made to motivate employees, while 34% said the jobs are posted to placate overworked staff who may be hoping for additional help to be brought on 」

#AI#Recruiting#AlgorithmicBias#AlgorithmicDiscrimination: "Body-language analysis. Vocal assessments. Gamified tests. CV scanners. These are some of the tools companies use to screen candidates with artificial intelligence recruiting software. Job applicants face these machine prompts – and AI decides whether they are a good match or fall short.
Businesses are increasingly relying on them. A late-2023 IBM survey of more than 8,500 global IT professionals showed 42% of companies were using AI screening "to improve recruiting and human resources". Another 40% of respondents were considering integrating the technology.
Many leaders across the corporate world hoped AI recruiting tech would end biases in the hiring process. Yet in some cases, the opposite is happening. Some experts say these tools are inaccurately screening some of the most qualified job applicants – and concerns are growing the software may be excising the best candidates.
"We haven't seen a whole lot of evidence that there's no bias here… or that the tool picks out the most qualified candidates," says Hilke Schellmann, US-based author of the Algorithm: How AI Can Hijack Your Career and Steal Your Future, and an assistant professor of journalism at New York University. She believes the biggest risk such software poses to jobs is not machines taking workers' positions, as is often feared – but rather preventing them from getting a role at all."
I posted a blog today about new positions available in our #PRECISE project, there's a lot of crossover with the @OceanIceEU project too - take a look if you want to work in some.of the coolest parts of the planet...
💸 Blockchain dev's wallet emptied in "job interview" using npm package
ᐅ @BleepingComputer
「 As a part of the job interview, the recruiter asked Çeliktepe to download and debug the code in two npm packages—"web3_nextjs" and "web3_nextjs_backend" hosted on a GitHub repository. However, moments later, the developer discovered that his MetaMask wallet had been drained—with upwards of $500 siphoned out of his account 」
I’m a lifelong power wheelchair user who lives in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, where there are only two vendors who specialize in complex custom wheelchairs for patients like me: Care Medical – a local independent vendor, and Numotion – a large national vendor. Both vendors are in network with Anthem, but only Numotion is in network with UnitedHealthcare. I would like to share in detail what a negative impact this change in health insurance has had on me and my healthcare.
When my employer offered health insurance through Anthem years ago, I used Care Medical for wheelchair services and repairs were always completed promptly. This has not been the case with UnitedHealthcare and Numotion. Back in early October I started the process to get seating adjustments on my wheelchair and replace a motor that was starting to fail. My Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM & R) doctor referred me to a wheelchair seating clinic, who arranged for a Numotion Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) to participate in a seating evaluation with one of the clinic’s Occupational Therapists (OT) on October 3rd. During that appointment they took notes and collectively decided what changes and parts were necessary for the proper fit and function of my wheelchair.
On October 30th I received an automated email from Numotion stating that they were still waiting for documentation from my clinician. This indicated to me that the repair order had not been fully submitted nearly a month after my seating evaluation. I immediately contacted the OT to ensure all paperwork was in order. I received another automated email from Numotion about missing documentation on November 9th. I discovered that Numotion had requested medical documentation from my primary care doctor, instead of the specialist who had referred me for the evaluation. Numotion received the parts in late November, and the service appointment is today – nearly three months after my evaluation appointment. When I tried calling Numotion’s local phone number to let the repair shop know that my mom would be a little late dropping off my chair, I was routed to a call center. The agent told me she would send a note after she tried to call the local repair shop and didn’t get an answer. When I asked for a direct number for the repair shop, she said there isn't one. When my mom arrived, she asked for a local phone number, and they confirmed that they do not have one.
I keep an old wheelchair around in case my current wheelchair needs repairs. It doesn’t fit me as well as my current chair, and I worry about how long it will last, but it works for now in a pinch. Many do not have that luxury and would have no choice but to wait for months without a functioning wheelchair. Care Medical employees have told me that they have tried to get in network with UnitedHealthcare for years without success. This situation has left me to rethink what I and others with disabilities should evaluate when considering an employer.
A.I. job recruiters are apparently a thing now. They seem to be just spam-bots looking for unqualified individuals to cause a company and humanity to collapse.
Our passengers come with amazing skills. The stereotype of trans people as "good with computers" definitely applies! #recruiting professionals - contact us! We frequently have interesting candidates. Currently we have:
Graphic artist/front end engineer - mid career
Sr. EE/electronics technician with bioelectronics
DBA / software engineer (EU work ready)
very talented EE with Chinese procurement contacts/skills
My friend, Gisele & I are going to do more of our own personal direct actions, locally - fighting back against both rising #antisemitism & #islamophobia in #VictoriaBC & nearby areas.
We are starting with tackling hateful graffiti & going to spots with those hateful messages. We'll erase those & put up message of love, peace & kindness.
I'm #recruiting more local #AntiHate volunteers to join us. I believe people with kind hearts, outnumber dark hearted folks.
3 things we need to stop doing in recruiting and talent acquisition. Part 2: Interview Questions that put some people at a disadvantage
Let's all take a step towards making talent acquisition more equitable for everyone and stop using situational interview questions. These questions can disadvantage people with cognitive differences, and we need to find a better way!
@eui_law is #recruiting a #Chair in Law, who is expected to provide academic leadership, support the growth of the Department's #research base, and produce substantial impact beyond #academia.
I didn't realize this was going to become a series... (Part of the
GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE Series Apparently)
So I watched a "theoretical" YouTube video yesterday in which they
report from multiple sources on a story linking TikTok influencer Hailey
Lujan to possibly being a government Psyop. At the very least, she says
lots of pro-Army things and gets to play with $100,000s of dollars in
cool hardware that civilians just don't normally get access to.
Apparently the Army is targeting the first-person shooter gamer
community (there is some evidence they may be better at piloting drones
than pilots) -- quoted to be about 93-96% male, young, and many of them
lonely. The term "parasocial" is getting thrown around here -- which is
a one-sided relationship, sometimes quite intense, usually referring to
relationships between celebrities and their audience. The video quotes
some research that the subset of these young men who are almost always
online "are almost never interacting with young women -- instead there
is a trend of parasocial relationships forming...".
The joke I now have with my wife is that YouTube's algorithm will start
flooding our joint account with "E-Girls" dressed in camouflage.
[And, well ick -- this strange story is now starting to intersect with
my other essay series about "Sigma Males" and that bogus personality
type being associated with very similar lonely young men. See: https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/@admin/109705551829241507 ]
Given the number of articles online about Army recruiting on TikTok, and
that Hailey Lujan reportedly has a LinkedIn profile as being in the army
with Psyops ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/hailey-lujan-a2707819a ), I'm
not sure how "theoretical" it really is.
I'm not 100% sure I'm against this sort of influence campaign but I need
to know more. We do need recruits in the USA Armed Forces and they are
missing their recruiting targets a lot recently.

This has been out for a year, but I had not seen it.
This is supposedly put out by the the US Army's PSYOPS (Psychological
Operations) unit out of Fort Bragg.
**The video is intended as a recruiting tool.**
Well -- it's creepy -- I'll give them that.
I suppose if we want recruits angry and ready to do anything to
manipulate the world -- it is successful.
And I find myself both getting angry towards the end, AND trying to
catch what subliminal messaging they are inserting.
What do you think about this kind of recruiting, assuming that is what
it is?
Fair warning -- It is disturbing, threatening, and creepy.
