Let me disagree and explain myself.

When an HR is using Hiring Method, they are getting a fitness score for all applicants.

In case a backend engineer is seeking frontend roles – yes, the fitness will be low – but it will neither be zero nor will anyone be rejected anyhow automatically. HR will have an option to compare applicants visually and in detailed mode at all times.

I am building Hiring Method to augment people, not to remove them from decision making process.

Im sure you have the best intentions. I already struggle with being pigeonholed into roles. The line about using AI wrappers to determine a fit stuck out to me.

I understand you perfectly. I’ve also worked on the employer side (as a hiring manager, working closely with recruiters) and have witnessed a huge number of instances of unfairness, manifesting in all sorts of ways. And, believe me, as the number of applicants grows, the situation doesn’t get any better. I’m trying to bring a little transparency to the process.

Yes, and what's scary is that I can easily imagine HR departments loving these tools and using them at scale.
